Hmm, you know that's an interesting one. Personally I want mailing list 
messages to go to one folder, but private communications to stay in my inbox - 
somehow it feels more logical that way, plus I don't necessarily read and deal 
with mailing list messages at the same speed as I would private communications.

No possible comment on which way is right or wrong, of course - they're just 
different! You're the first person I've heard of who prefers off-list messages 
to get routed to the same place as on-list ones (for any mailing list), but 
it's not like it's a topic that crops up often. :-) Maybe it's a common 
practice...

cheers
