There is no "situation". A user posts to debian-user with a query. Replies go to the list (L in mutt). The user reads the reply. Ah, you say, the user might not be subscribed to the list and has not made any other arrangement to view the list or get a reply via a CC. Tough luck; it is not my place or responsibilty to make assumptions (technical or social) on what the user does or does not do.
