Nor mally, a simple reply works for me but for some posts, a reply just goes
back to the sender. For those, if I catch them, I start again with a
reply-all and delete all but the list normally. When I don't catch it, I end
up sending driect and not to the list. In those cases, I hopefully catch it
later and send again to the list the second time.

I have not investigated if this occurs when people cc the list instead of
having the mail sent to the list.

all the best,

drew
