Being subscribed to a mailing list I want to reply to the list in most 
cases (being in a public forum), not to one poster privately. So I had 
to edit the headers *every time* to prevent unneccessary email being 
sent. And I am quite annoyed by the fact that in reply to my postings I 
am getting a list reply (filtered to my list folder) and a private reply 
being exactly the same email left in my inbox.
