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.
I do that too. In 138 mailing list folders there are 688,252 unread mails. Plus the 35,564 in my inbox :)
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.And that's only one of the use cases I listed. There are other users who *never* receive the message for absolutely no fault of their own.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.
The page I linked to gave examples, with bullet points. The main ones being other lists and subject experts who are relevant to a specific thread but not on this particular list.
I didn't think I was cutting anyone out, and have never been told that it was happening.
Oh you really have. I've referred you to that same document before, I'm sure :)
