Yes, but the chance of having everyone else change that is pretty slim. > > Apparently if someone with such a client replies to me, sup will > > automatically reply to the person, not to the list. > > This might (and I really am guessing here) be because sup skips > duplicates (by message id).

One thing I noticed with the list in CC mails is that replying to 'recipient' would reply to the list. I don't get that from a semantic point. > > It's really annoying to send to single people instead of the list by > > accident. > > I can tell you it is _way_ more annoying to accidentally send private > mail to list (I've done that, once _really_ badly).

I don't know what conservative behavior would be in this case. I think consistency is key though. -- Philipp -- "Wir stehen selbst enttäuscht und sehn betroffen / Den Vorhang zu und alle Fragen offen."
