He has not replied to the list because he is not a member of it. Those
of us who sent a CC to him have received a reply thanking us for the
information. Any replies to his original email would have to include his
email address from him to see it.
Again: to know whether a person is a member of this mailing list or not
requires one of two things. Either look at the headers to see if one of
them has Delivered-To: moderator for [email protected], or create a
filter which will mark emails which contain this header.
