Gotcha, and sorry for incorrectly thinking this was wrong. I've never seen that before -- if I got an email from X, with Y and Z also on the email, it's always gone out to X, Y, and Z with reply-all, but then again, sending to Y doesn't mean that X is also getting it as in the case of you (X) and the mailing list (Y). Now I understand. > Mail-Followup-To: John Hendy <jw.he...@gmail.com>, emacs-orgmode > <emacs-orgmode@gnu.org> > > In principle, it could be just the org mode mailing list but it is not > up to me to decide whether you want direct responses or not. :-) > Got it. And now that you say that, *that's* what puzzled me when sending it out: I got an email back to myself. So *that* I still do find weird. If I send an email in response to your email on the list, why would I want it sent directly to myself? Is that just because if someone then responds to *that* email, it ensures that I get a direct email as well as the one to the list? >> This is the behavior I get with gmail.
