I didn't -- but for the Reply-To addressing to carry through the thread it would have to. That's 
what I was saying before would cause the false sense of security, and you disagreed.

OK, then I'm back to my initial position -- since informative responses can easily come deeper in 
the thread, this technique (even if it were supported by the list manager capabilities) would lead 
to such responses failing to reach the OP without additional action by the responder. However, if 
the OP is given information about use of nabble, say (either by the moderator supplying general 
instructions, or a list member supplying a specific link to the thread), then the OP has access to 
*all* responses and no cc'ing would ever be required. This possibility is supported even with no 
changes made through the list manager.
