Hrm.. Does debian-user not set the reply-to to the list, or is this my headers munging it up, I wonder? When you reply to other mailing list messages, does it use the mailing list address? > I expect that some people like CCs so that they can see responses to > their own messages immediately and file away the rest for later, and > assume that everyone shares their preference.

Getting a personal email is reasonable, although in many cases personal emails prompted by the list would have been better off going to the list; getting two copies of the same message is a pain. You're right; it doesn't mention linux (or, more to the point, debian). But since most of this CC duplication seems to come from the list, I thought it reasonable to ask. Besides which, it *could* be construed as a question about slrn/gmane/MUA settings, in which case I think it *would* be on-topic. I probably should have emailed the CCers themselves, but I have long since deleted those messages. -- monique PLEASE don't CC me. Please. Pretty please with sugar on top.
