Thanks for the detailed analysis Hoss, it could definitely be
something w/ my situation...

When others click "Reply" on their mail clients do they see it going to dev@?

Hmm I suspect Uwe's Jenkins instance sends the email directly to
whoever had committed a recent change for this build; this is why it
was sent directly to me.

(Apache's Jenkins instance doesn't seem to do this).

Yes, I use the gmail web ui.

OK I think this explanation makes sense!

So if you had committed before a build that failed then be extra
careful to reply-all!

Thanks for explaining it Hoss,
