Fair enough, Philip. See below, please. I am assuming you meant these line
items as questions, not statements? I ask, because you had NO punctuation
following the last word in each sentence. I've constructed my reply as tho' you

Yes, that was intentional. Itemised lists don't
normally require trailing punctuation to make
their meaning clear, and I felt that by presenting
what I perceived as the five possible options as
an itemised list, my meaning would be clear.
1) I am using e-mail inappropriately (in this context)
Perhaps. In that there is virtually no need to send a separate email to
Daniel's specific email address, as WELL as the list. Not only that but it
works a hardship on him.
If there's no rational reason to send him a personal email as well, why do so? Just
because it's habit to hit "Reply All"?
Ah, but I /don't/ "send a separate email to Daniel's specific email address";
I use "Reply/all", and that generates a To and a CC, the "To: " being
Daniel and the "CC: " being the list. So I agree that a separate e-mail
is being sent to Daniel, but that is not my intent; my intent is to
reply to the list, and the only option that Seamonkey offers me with
this particular configuration of the list-server is "Reply/all". As
you have yourself noted, "Reply" is inadequate, in that it replies
to Daniel and not to the list. You might want to argue that having
used "Reply/all", it is then incumbent on me to remove Daniel's
mailbox from the "To: " field -- I agree that I could do this, but
it seems excessively onerous.
