I am using the evolution package provided by Fedora 14, updated as
usual.  I'm afraid it is version 2.32.2.

It says Group Reply in the header, and it doesn't say what happens if I
just click on it.

However, after looking at the answers to my question, I clicked on the
arrow next to it and it gave me two options: Reply to all (Shift+Ctrl+R)
and Reply to List (Ctrl+L)
.

Now that I know what to do, I'll use Ctrl+L, as I did for this message.

Thanks to everyone.
