I am not sending courtesy copies - I am simply hitting reply. I just checked a bunch of EMC mailing list messages in my "sent" folder. With the exception of this thread, all of them were sent to the list only. Then I looked at the first message of this thread, from Andy. The "reply-to" field has both Andy's address _and_ the mailing list. That is not the normal setting for mailing list mail. I looked at the first messages of several other threads, and the reply-to field only has the list address. Andy added his direct address to the reply-to field of the very first message in this thread - I don't know why. That has propagated through the entire thread. Replies to on-list messages went to the list like they were supposed to, but an extra copy went direct to Andy. When he replied to that extra copy instead of the list copy, the reply did NOT go to the list. Once that happened, every response to that reply was also off-list.
