There are (at least) two things wrong with that scenario: 1. the mailing list software is setting Reply-To: identically to the From: header, when it didn't need to. If it ommited the redundant Reply-To: header, you wouldn't have seen a problem. 2. The mail program should have been smart enough to figure out "Hey, the Cc is a duplicate, I dont need it" > If I > try to send a private off-list reply to someone, I can't.

You CAN do it. This "can't" is rubbish. > You are free to use whatever MUA you want, but don't complain to the > rest of us if it is broken. Funny, you just did exactly that. If your mailreader was better, you would have a better functioning group-reply. Similarly, if your mailreader was better, it would be easier for you to look at headers, and cut-n-paste the address of the person you want to privately reply.
