You want to reply to emails, have the valuable answers in those emails go
into the archives, but don't want them going out to the list?

The archives archive only what is sent to the list. If you have a good
answer, it's much more important to send that to the list so everyone knows
about it.


The archives are for finding answers to questions that have been asked
before - the list is for a) helping out others with stuff you know about,
and b) finding out stuff you never even thought to ask for! :)
