  I do not have a "reply-to" field in my headers,
so I suspect strongly that the destination of your
reply is determined by your email software setting,
nothing to do with my settings.  Supporting this
notion, when I "reply" to my own posting, the
destination is to the list, not to me. And replying
to certain members' posts, the destinations are their
personal addresses because they have a "reply-to" in
their headers, a function of their software settings.
  Sounds like you aren't displaying threads because
Charles's header clearly contains,
  "In-Reply-To: [Don's message ID]
 You are probably displaying the messages in subject
order, not threads.
