Yes, I know. But this is not the point I was trying to make. If Joe Newuser has problems getting XFree86 to run he may send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (After all it is advertised all over to do so), but he doesn't subscribe to the list (It says nowhere that he should). One of us wants to anser him, hits 'group reply' and because of the Reply-To: only containing the list the answer goes only to the list. But since the original author isn't subscribed he *doesn't* get the answer. It is good for the list to know that someone replied, but it doesn't help the author at all as he *never* sees this reply. This was the only point I was trying to make. The other discussions just obfuscated this.
