Thanks for the URL - I  had no idea anyone had such strong feelings on 
this. Unfortunately I don't think /any/ of the points made are valid. I 
will save you all a point by point rebuttal, but one element I thought 
particularly wrong is that all good mail clients give a reply to list 
option. I've seen this in Opera, but not in Moz/Tbird, other than 
reply-all which would result in sending duplicate messages to the author.

In any case I apologise for resurrecting a long buried skeleton, and in 
doing so taking this whole subject off topic.
