A shortcut to Reply All in Mail.app

I'm not sure how long this has been a part of OS X, but I've long lamented that Mail.app doesn't allow me to switch easily back and forth between 'Reply to Sender only' and 'Reply All' mode when composing an e-mail reply (as Entourage does).

Well, it turns out that it does. Whichever reply option you have chosen, the button at the top of your compose window will show the opposite. Simply click it to switch to the different option. You can also use Command+R to switch back to 'Reply to sender' mode from 'Reply All' and Command+Shift+R to switch back to 'Reply All' mode.

I realize this isn't exactly rocket science and may not even qualify as a hint, but I figured if I've missed this all these years, maybe others have too.

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described. I always just used the buttons in the Toolbar to pick Reply or Reply All. The method described in the hint works too.]
