didn't go through the list. Now suppose I look for the list address
in the To: or Cc: fields ... if someone BCCs the list (for whatever
reason) that will fail. Additionally, suppose I send a question to
the list for which I want to see a duplicate in my inbox (so it stands
out against the rest of the list mail), that won't work. I am
describing these scenarios not to start an argument, but only to
stimulate thought and to present things that you (in the general
sense) may not have thought of yet.

Paul's suggestion is a good practice.

Yeah.

Yes. Or, possibly, it has a list reply feature that you haven't found
yet. I can't say for certain because I don't use it.

Highly recommended :-). (see my User-Agent: header)
Do note that for optimal (IMO) use the index_format variable needs to
be set differently for different folders (the default will look bad
when viewing your already-sorted list-only folders).
