reply to all works, but then we end up with 2 messages, and if you have
your mail client set up to filter mail into folders, then each message
ends up in 2 different places.

I've replied to several posts on the list, and I forget that the reply
button only replies to the OP and my posts don't make it to the list
unless I send them again.

The reply to all sends 2 e-mails, one to the list, and one to the OP,
just like I did with this message. Now you are going to get 2 of these
messages but if the list was set up differently, then when hitting the
reply button, it would automatically send directly to the list and not
the OP.

I use Evolution, Kmail, and occasionally lookout and all of them are
decent e-mail clients. Also, of all the mailing lists I am on, this is
the only one that, when replying it goes to the OP and not the list.

I'm not trying to solicit a change, I'm just wondering why this list has
this behavior, which in my opinion is tedious.

This is what I'm getting, but when hitting reply to this message of
yours, it does go to the list and not both the list and you personally.

Maybe it's not how the list is set up, but instead how people are
replying to the list.

dunno.
