Well, I use Seamonkey for my email.  The thing I don't like about the
reply all is that now you get two copies of this email.  I figured that
because I got two of yours.  I do not see a reply to list function so
can you assist me in finding that or does it not exist in Seamonkey.

Also, did they not set this up the same way as the other lists?  When I
hit reply in gentoo-user it works fine as far as going to the list
itself.  I was just thinking that maybe someone missed a step when the
mailing list was set up.

Any help would be appreciated.
