Now, that's odd - When I click "reply" for either John or Alex's messages, I get *their* address (munged with "at" instead of "@"), but when I reply to yours, Robin, I get "[email protected]" (not sure how this will display in the actual posted message, but anyway...)
I've also figured out how to reply via Sneakemail without cut-and-pasting, so let's see how this goes. Hopefully, this message will be intented within yours, but if it is, we won't yet know if it's because of your own reply-to address, or because of my modified answering method. Let's see...

Basically, every email sent has a unique ID contained within the headers (created by the email server when the message gets sent). When you reply to an email, yur client should add a new header (In-Reply-To) containing the ID of the email you're replying to. Unfortunately, some clients don't handle this very well for mailing lists (where you're not replying to the original author, but to the list) so it gets lost and the thread gets broken. As for how to fix/work around this - that depends on your mail client.
