That's one reply I did not see. I have seen the article it links to, and
I don't agree with some of its basic assumptions.

If all email clients shipped by RH and Fedora were "reasonable mailers"
as assumed by Chip, I really wouldn't care so much.
I could almost cope if the version of mailman Red Hat's using would
gaily send me so-called duplicates, but it won't. I've checked my
configuration.
Whatever _I_ do, I miss replies others make. If you, Dan, choose "group
reply" or "reply to all,"[1] I often don't get it. I've never seen value
in off-list replies, except for very rare cases where, maybe
highlighting someone's ignorance might embarrass them, but they need to
be put straight.
I for one would be happy if my email address never went to email lists;
the fact it does is the reason I need to apply antispam to this domain.
[1] I don't see the point of those wrt _this_ list. Mutt users might try
L to reply to the list.
