This happens when someone answers with "Reply All". In this case, both 
the mailing list address and original poster address are specified as 
email recipients.

The mailing list systems notices this, and avoid sending a duplicate 
copy of the message. Consequently, you just get the answer as private 
mail. But other people get it from the mailing list as usual.

On the other hand, if someone answers with "Reply to the list", only the 
mailing list is specified as recipient.

Best practices:

- Use "Reply to the list", if available in your email software.

- Alternatively, on some lists (including Freemint-discuss) you can just 
press Reply. It will reply to the list only.
Note that this is dangerous, as some mailing lists (i.e. emutos-devel) 
only reply to the original poster in that case.

- Alternatively, use "Reply All", and remove any address from 
recipients, except the mailing list.

As a rule of thumb, don't CC named people when replying. That's annoying.
