Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Yes, when Gmail sees a reply to with
user and list, the Reply button generates a reply only to the user.
The question is: why are some mails generated in that confusing
manner? I don't see that pattrern in mails that I create and send.

Looking back through another thread, I see that behavior in a mail
from Alma, and of course I din't catch it at the time, so my reply
went to Alma and not to the list.
