Thank you Doug, I just noticed that when I hit reply-to-all, your email 
did not appear in the "To:" list, and just the d-u list address 
appeared. However, this was not the case with some other messages. What 
I was thinking earlier was that if the list sees that the person in the 
"To:" or "CC:" field is also subscribed to the list, then it refrains 
from sending the message to that person, since they would have received 
it "directly". From now on, I shall dutifully delete the additional 
address before sending.

Thank you.
