Yeah, I am still a bit farm fresh. And, I am forgetful. Thanks for the reminder and link, I shall go read. I am sure I am not the only one who makes this mistake, though. And I seem to remember a few posts where it was brought up that some users who post are not subscribed. So, go figure.

Webmail and popular MUAs like Tbird and Lookout make it difficult to follow the no-CC "rule". Someone, though, has thoughtfully written a replytolist plugin for Tbird/Icedove. Get v0.3.0 unless you use IMAP, which requires you to use v0.2.1.
