It means that when somebody knows the "r"eply doesn't work on linux-il and
is always used to add the CC: back to the list himself, he can accidentally
do that even on messages that just appear to have come from the list (because
of the people involved) but infact haven't. I'm not saying that's what
happened in this case, but it's a possibility.

I use "group reply" instead of an explicit CC:, but not everyone does!
See also your (Ira) own complaints that people take messages he sent to
iglu.org.il and respond to them in linux.org.il.

See - when people complain that Reply-To: causes embarrassing mistakes, they
forget that such things also happen without it. This guy (may have)
accidentally replied on the list. I once got legal threats for having used
"group reply" (the jobinfo incident).

Now, let's drop this issue - it has barely been a month since we last
argued it :( And Shachar - this time it's not my fault we're arguing this :)
