Acknowledging that I am being redundant since I have commented on this
before, if you reply to both the sender and The List, the sender will
receive the message twice. Magnus will probably receive John's message
twice, once by the direct 'To' address and once through the 'Cc' to The
List. This, of course is assuming that the sender is a Lister. My
suggestion is to send it to The List only but start the message with
"Magnus: ..." or whoever the sender is. No one has ever corrected me on my
theory. If I am wrong, I am willing to learn. I just know from experience
that when someone has replied to me and The List, I have received the
message twice.
(Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered: It is easier to get
older than it is to get wiser)
