No, I am not: a separate message is what I said, and what I meant. Because the list reply defaults to the sender _only_, unless I remember explicitly to choose "Reply All" (which I otherwise rarely use) any message I mean to send to the list goes instead to just the individual. I then have to send a separate copy to the list (only), making my first reply retrospectively and unintentionally a "courtesy copy". The last occasion that happened was just yesterday. And as I said, I do not have this problem with any other mailing list.
