I wouldn't be surprised, gmail does do a few unusual things, mostly not too annoying though (at least for me).
BTW, i have .procmailrc rules to get rid of dupes....so if get CC-ed on a list reply, i see whichever one arrives first.
Sounds like that would lead to more inconsistencies.
Different people have different preferences when it comes to getting dupe replies on list mail. some like it, some hate it, some don't care.
True. In my case, if I get both messages, it's a minor annoyance I can live with, but it appears I'm receiving only one, which is a major PITA, because of the behaviour inconsistencies.
I try to remember individual preferences as best i can, but mostly just default to sending either private or list mail, trimming the CC list.
I generally send to the list, unless I feel a need to go private, and usually use Reply List, to minimise the amount of fiddling with addresses. The number of times I go private is small enough that if I change my mind at the last minute, I can copy/paste the stuff I've typed into a new message addressed direct. Less work than editing address lists, because on average I send far more mail through the list than direct.
I always do a 'G' group reply in mutt and edit the To: and CC: headers manually in vim, because I don't always know until I'm ready to send the message whether it should be public or private.
That's always an option too.
One of the reasons I hate From and Reply-To munging is that it takes that option away from me, or makes it more of a PITA than it was, or than it needs to be.
I can understand that, I was recently caught out on a list with Reply-To: munging. No damage done, except a few confused "Bob"s, as my reply was intended to be a private message to a friend named Bob. :) -- 73 de Tony VK3JED/VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
