Ha - hit reply first, and then had to close the message, and hit reply all
;-)
No - I don't like it. It's different from all the other mail lists I belong
to. I invariably send only to the last responder, when I wanted to respond
to the list - and then have to do it again to get to the list.
Vice Versa, I also typically get two copies of every message when someone
responds to mine.
So - please, pretty please, Mr Listowner, reconfigure.
