I wish you guys would stop sending to me and CC'ing the List.

Apparently your list server is automatically set to not send duplicates,
so when you send to both me and the list, the only one I get is the one
sent direct to me - which breaks 'Reply-To-List'.

I am on the list, so sending to me directly too is useless.

Or - does Mulberry not not have a proper 'Reply-To-List' feature So no
one has ever complained about this?

Now on to my reply...

Interesting, and I understand the argument in context of slow internet
connections, but in this day and age... well, if this is on someone's
short list of required features, I doubt TB will ever officially support
it, since in the modern age, it really isn't useful - if you are on a
slow connection, just use a webmail client.
