Sometimes I receive a personal email response to a message that I have posted 
to the list.  This seems to happen because the person that kindly responded 
has for some reason cc'd me in the reply.  If I try to reply to it the post 
will not go to the list, but the person that emailed me.  Pressing 'l' in 
kmail just brings up an empty to field.  This seems to happen only with some 
replies.  Will keep an eye out for it to see if it is consistent.
