Subject: The whole "reply to" issue
I use Outlook?. When I want to reply to the one person who wrote the post, I
click Reply To; if I want to reply to everybody, I click Reply to All. That
works. It fills the To box with the private person and the list address
(either of which I can delete if I want to -- I usually remove the single
address to stop the recipient getting the reply twice).
I couldn't be bothered to read the other 120 mails on this topic. Did
someone have a problem?

I agree with you.

Of the email clients I use, Mutt and Claws Mail provide "Reply to List"
out of the box. Thunderbird needs an add-on to provide the function (as
discussed on the list recently). Alpine doesn't provide the functionality as
far as I can see. Evolution drives me insane if I try to use it, but I
don't believe it does Reply to List.
You'll notice I'm not a Windows user. If I were, I wouldn't use LookOut or
LookOut Express because they've had security problems in the past (and the
malware authors target those clients as that's what they assume most people
will be using).
