If Randolph sent a message both to the listserv and to you directly,

your subscription on mailman to suppress duplicates, you would not
have seen the listserv message, only Randoph's direct-to-you message.
Ah, I get it now.
The "setting" I lost is that the subject column in my email window
isn't wide enough so I never even noticed the "(offlist)" that was
appended to the subject line. My mail is programmed to dump any
message with "[Finale]" in the header into one mailbox, so I just
answered the message without ever realizing it was intended only for
me and not for the whole list.
Sorry, Randolph, for publicly replying to a private message.
Fortunately, there wasn't anything especially private in it. And
thanks, David, for the explanation.
