generates the question, "Respond to all recipients?". If I answer, "no", the
reply goes to the individual author. If I answer, "yes", then the reply goes
to the list. For all I know, other MUAs work the same way.
It's annoying to get two copies of a message though.
The best solution for threading is not messing with the 'Message-Id:'
or the 'References:' headers which are the "proper" headers MUA's should
use for threading (not the Subject line which anyone can alter in a
reply).
Also, the mailinglist program should set:
X-Mailing-List: grasslist@baylor.edu
X-Loop: grasslist@baylor.edu
The first notifies any mail program that this is a list message. The
second is protection for grasslist from bouncing messages.
