Neither do I, but I'm a subscriber of several mailman mailing lists were for mysterious reasons this happens at least one time a year. It happens for at least 6 times a year that somebody does confuse the address to post a message to all the list members, with the "request" address. It doesn't help that all list mails have a footer, or start digest mails with short, but complete explanations or that MUAs provide a menu entry for mailing lists, so that nobody needs to care about the headers or anything else, but get all options provided by the GUI, for direct mouse usage. For the mail I'm replying at the moment Claws provides the menu Message > Mailing-List with the options Post Help Subscribe Unsubscribe View archive Just "Contact owner" is shadowed. :)
