I would think that 90+% of the time, you want a public response to a public post, rather than a private reply (after all, it's a public mailing list).

Usually, that is not correct. The original poster gets 2 copies - one direct to him from you; one from the list. Many's the time I've gotten 2 replies to my Evolution list posts. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project <http://leaf.sourceforge.net> AIM: MikeLeone Public Key - <http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.asc> Registered Linux user# 201348
