The default "Reply To" on this list is set to go to the original
poster. It's a setting in the mailing list software, not anyone's
e-mail client.

If you post a question and someone responds using "Reply To", then
their response will go directly to you. If they respond using "Reply
To All" (as I have here) then the e-mail is copied to the list address
as well.

The moral? Always use "Reply To", and hope everyone else remembers to
do so as well :)

Cheers,
