I'm afraid I don't understand this at all. I've been using gmail for a long time, and I haven't ever had any problem with replying to the list, except that gmail almost always generates a duplicate reply - to the list and then to the sender, although somethimes this fails to happen. I any case, I see my message to the list at the right place in the chain, and thus I could care less which copy of my message has been saved. -- Collins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
