I don't understand that. I have Evolution filters to sort list traffic
into folders, and the folder list will show me a count of unread
messages. My default folder view is also set to Unseen. Barring bugs, I
don't see how you can miss a reply. You don't need to remember to check
for it manually. I occasionally see replies to messages that are weeks
old and I've long forgotten about.

I'd be interested to see examples of this, other than people posting
questions *without* being on the list, but generally those who do so
are careful to mention it and ask for personal replies.

I didn't think I was cutting anyone out, and have never been told that
it was happening. No need to thank me. In the case of this thread you
left me no alternative since once you use Reply-to-All the List-*
headers are no longer present in subsequent messages, so the Reply-to-
List option is not available. That's why I prefer Reply-to-List -- it
preserves more information, which MUAs could potentially use.
