Hi,

That's in fact something I will really miss in the near future. It was
so conveniant to be able just to reply to a message and not to worry
that the reply went to the mailing list.

Most of the time exactlythis IS the requested feature. In very rare
circumstances, users want and should reply to the auther itself. Even if
it's about a technical question, a solution for a specific problem:
still the community and future users might be interested in a solution,
especially when googling, they might have chances to find it.

What do others think about this on that list?

Dominique
