Well I just hit 'reply' to Satish's post, and wanted to see if it had
the list as the return address or Satish.  This particular time it had
the list so that's cool, but I know what you mean, I saw that earlier
today.  If you just hit 'reply' with a gmail account and you are like
me, signed up to multiple lists, you will probably send a lot of
individual mails when you want it to be a post only.  I find myself in
the habit of 'reply all', then eliminating the individual from the
double emails, at least some of the time.  With list traffic I can't
guarantee that I won't occasionally send a duplicate since some of my
mails are sent as quick scribbles.

Cheers
