Unfortunatly the way the list is setup, if you click on Reply it 
addresses the person directly.  If you click Reply All then it again 
addresses the person directly and CCs the list.  Its very 
counter-intuative for a mailing list to work this way, but it seems that 
the GTK list are all like this and they like things this way.  I pointed 
this out before, because there are lots of down sides to this, one of 
which is that alot of people simply click on Reply and their wisdom is 
forever lost to the list, because the email is sent directly to the 
person who composed the original email.  This results in lots of 
questions being asked over and over again because the answer doesnt 
exist in the archives...only the questions.

Does anyone know why this is the default behavior?  Generally when I 
reply to something in on a mailing list, I want the entire list to see 
it.  Since the person that sent the email is generally subscribed to the 
list their is no reason to send it to both that person and the list.  So 
I have to click on Reply All and then remove the personal address, and 
copy the mailing list address from CC to TO.  Thats alot of work, just 
to make sure that someone doesnt get duplicate email.  I guess this is 
why questions alway get 2 replies, because it just easier to click on 
Reply All and let the person who is being replied to (often not the 
person who needs to see it) deal with the extra email.
