Reply to All in KMail will set the To address to plug and the CC address 
to the other poster. The e-mail in question had it the other way 
around. This sort of thing is really up to the implementation of the 
client. I'm not sure how it's done in Pine.

I don't really care if the cause of the off-list copies are broken 
clients, bad configurations, incorrect use, manual insertion of 
addresses, or cosmic rays. People just need to change whatever it is.

I do have a Reply-To set. As with virtually all other mailing list I'm 
subscribed to, it's set to the list address. Your list software is 
probably smart enough not to append another instance of the list 
address if it's already there. Good for you. :)

I don't get duplicates (I believe that option is the default), but stuff 
doesn't sort properly when people do silly things.
