In this case I looked at the list of people in the discussion, knew they were all subscribed, and intentionally mailed only to the list. ;-)

However, that feature does not work well. It was designed to allow cross-posting to several mailing lists and to avoid sending a subscriber of multiple lists the same message. That part works. [Basically crossposting to several different mailing lists is problematic and should be avoided in general.] This feature is bad for people like me that file mailing lists into separate folders. I would only get one copy in one of the folders in that case. (I think crossposting to -announce and -devel is good, for a counter example. No discussion should happen on -announce.) But the feature does not work at all if I am on the To: list and subscribed both. In that case I would not get the copy from the mailing list. In that case I would fail to file the message into the appropriate folder because it would lacking the mailing list headers. I think it is a bad mailing list feature. Bob
