Of course it happens to you (and to anyone getting an email reply),
if the fellow users keep on applying a Carbon Copy (Cc:) to
faq-maintainers@MIT.EDU. One should edit the reply header and reply
to (To:) faq-maintainers@MIT.EDU, with no carbon copy. A note I
made almost immediately after joining this fine mailing list a
couple of months ago. That is all there is to it.

Take a close look at the header of this email message of mine and
you'll see what should be the best way, assuming I intend this to
everyone on the list, instead of a private discussion with you only.

All the best, Timo
