OK, just got this baby from Alan:
==================================================
From: Alan McKinnon <alan.mckin...@gmail.com>

and amidst the headers there's no usual mailing list IDs et al, as is usually 
the case:
==================================================
List-Post: <mailto:gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org>
List-Help: <mailto:gentoo-user+h...@lists.gentoo.org>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:gentoo-user+unsubscr...@lists.gentoo.org>
List-Subscribe: <mailto:gentoo-user+subscr...@lists.gentoo.org>
List-Id: Gentoo Linux mail <gentoo-user.gentoo.org>
X-BeenThere: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org
Reply-to: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org
==================================================

So, when I enter "l" the response is set directly to Alan, instead of Gentoo 
Users M/L.

Alan, any idea why this is so?  Do you intentionally copy me in your responses 
to the list?
