Then my email program - MicroDot-II 1.4.4 on AmigaOS - does not work how
they work, cause even reply to all is quite clumsy here, cause it also
sents a copy of the message to meself, and then I get another one from the
mailing list.

In fact, I have no big problem with mailinglists, having their email
address in the To:-field. These can also be filtered here *without* some
subject prefixes to be scanned.

But AFAIK it as always been a little bit dificult to reply to one person
on the mailinglist *privately* and with that list here its the other way
around. I always have to be careful to make sure the mail also goes to the
list.

> I just hit "reply" and the recipient is put in To: and list in Cc:

This does not happen here, unless I set my "Reply" button to Reply to all
recipients. It is not, cause then MD-II sents a copy of each mail I reply
to to me also. I guess MD-II is quite broken in that respect.
