That is what I expected as well, but I always check the field to see 
where my emails are going. I noticed it was the individual instead of 
the list.

I have belonged to many lists in the past lots of them being linux 
lists. Every reply I made went to the list. Except for Sounder. On 
Sounder if you click on reply it sends the message to the individual.
