The 'r' (reply) replies to the sender of the message; the 'g' (group reply)
replies to the sender *and* the recipients of the message.

Would you really want to reply to the secondary ("Cc:) recipients and the
sender, but *not* to the primary ("To:) recipients of the message as well? 

Furthermore this wouldn't solve the problem of mailing  yourself a message
in doing a group reply because you might be in the cc-list, not the to-list.
