Possibly he's an innocent victim of today's over-helpful MUAs. If I'd never seen or been told about the Message-ID:, In-Reply-To:, and References: headers, I'd think that the above actions had wiped out all traces of the previous thread, and I would think I'm being efficient by letting the MUA copy the list address for me instead of typing it myself. Authors of gooey MUAs would do well to support listmail better by, for example, providing a button to "send new message to the list that reflected this message", or enabling the association of a folder with an address and providing a button for "send to this folder's associated address". -- Mark H.
