Just to make it clear - I am one of those who like to get a direct reply _additionally_ to the list mail. I check lists sometimes only every couple of days or weeks, once i start to interact with a thread i'd like to get replys immediately into my inbox to make shure i can keep the thread going instead of sending a reply days to weeks later. And blaming people sending you a direct mail which you are incapable of replying to (Remember - The header still contains the list address) is like blaming mutt it cant decode ms-tnef natively ... > 2.
