About replying to mailing list messages

In most cases, when you reply to a mailing list message your reply is automatically sent to everyone on the list, not just the sender of the original message. However, some mailing lists are configured differently; your reply is automatically sent only to the sender of the original message, not everyone on the mailing list.

If you have a POP account, you can override either of these mailing list settings and specify whether your replies should automatically be sent to everyone on the mailing list or only the sender of the original message.
