Two things happened here on my end: My kmail filters didn't kick in (kmail does that to me sometimes) so the mail I replied to was in my inbox, not the gentoo-user folder where it should have been. The list folder is the one that knows it contains a list not the inbox. I was also dealing with a bunch of work mail as the same time and with those I reply to all. When I replied, I hit "A" without thinking and only saw it after I pressed Ctrl-Enter to send. So my bad, my screw-up. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
