General question for someone like Tanner or Jeremy:

Why does hitting Reply sometimes reply to just the list, and sometimes reply
to the list and the original poster?  Particularly I noticed (AS I hit Send,
too late to correct it) that my reply to a post from Jim Ray was going to
Jim personally and the list (which means, I think, that he'll get two copies
of the message, right?  Sorry Jim).

Is there something I should be doing, aside from trying to keep a sharp eye,
to make sure I only reply to the list?

Cheers,
~Brian


Reply should always go to the list since we set the Reply-To header (no comments, please, on whether that should be the default or not, that's been rehashed thousands of times over the net). I've noticed that if you do Reply to all it will sometimes get both the poster and the reply-to but I had assumed that was highly client dependent. For myself, it always seems to do just what I don't want it to do. :-) What client are you running?

Anyone else out there that can help shed some light on this?

Cheers,
Tanner
