I agree, some of the features that makes it easy to sort e-mail *ESPECIALLY*
if you are on several lists or are NOT reading the list on a linux-based
machine. For example, I read the list *mostly* on my office PowerMac to
find bugs and security holes that affect a linux server in my department.
In other words, I'm a human mail filter that annotates and sorts about 300+
messages a day. Hence, I cannot run procmail.
As for whether the reply goes to the list or the individual, I think it
seems to be mail client dependent. My Outlook 2000 on my home laptop, the
reply goes direct to the list.
Even on the mailing lists that I maintain, I set the reply to point to the
mailing list and always use a list title in [brackets].

And yet another notice that not everyone uses procmail, can use procmail
or even wants to use proc mail.
NOTE: The reply was already set to go to the mail list :-)
