If they were not subscribers to the list, they would not have seen the message to which they are replying, and to which I am responding in turn. > It is the job of the receiving system to > perform duplicate suppression.

If I am separately addressed and addressed as part of a mailing list, I _expect_ to receive two copies of the message. The problem is with the sender specifying both me and the mailing list as recipients; I imagine many senders are using "Reply all" or its equivalent. > Why do you have to do that? THe "To:" or "Cc:" > field contains the list name. No, it contains the address of the sender of the post to which I'm replying. The headers do not specify a "Reply-To:" address, and the "From:" field is filled with the address of the person who posted the message. Thus, when I reply, the To: field is filled with the address of the poster, not the address of the list. The error is not in the mail client, it is in the mailing list software. > I guess you need to spring for the full version > of Outlook to do that: cost of using a feature-poor > mail client. I'm not aware of any "full version" of Outlook. In any case, I should not wish to change the priority of headers in determining how the reply address is obtained. The current behavior conforms to the RFCs, and that's fine with me. > You should probably point that out to the person > whose private email you sent to the list, in case > they are not a list subscriber and didn't see this > message, and appologize.
