You'd have to ask the person who replied. Mail clients have *two* repliy
buttons; one for a private reply and another for a public reply (or
'group reply' or 'reply to all').

When replying, the individual *chooses* which one to use.

There are some who suggest that we should hack things so that when users
*ask* for a *personal* reply, the list message subverts their mailer and
tricks it into actually replying in *public* instead.

This list will never do that. It's entirely stupid.
