Clarification, please. Occasionally a miss-configured mail reader will
cause a private off-list reply, which the correspondent does not notice.
My usual response to that sort of thing is to suggest that the
correspondent fix his mail reader, and then reply to the email on-list.
But only if there is nothing in either the errant email or my reply to
it which I believe to be private. Is something like that within your
admonition not to reply on-list to an off-list email?
