hmmm, i have a reply, and a reply-to-all, but no reply-to-list, and i've done no
customization or setup changes..

i got a few emils just after the announcement, and replied to them, thinking
they would pop up in the list, like i've seen the threads when browsing the
archives from http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/
but they didn't arrive...

then i tried all reply links in the postings when reading the list archive...
they were mailto: links, so thunderbird popped up. but, some way or another,
thunderbird messes up the mailto: adresses, multiple @@'s in there, with ' and
other weird charachers...

might be my thunderbird setup that is f**ked???

:-) me thinking that "i can't figure this out, and i can't find any docs or
info, so i want to do something else instead of being frustrated"...
