Yes, I see. Well, TBird sometimes does surprising things, eh?
It did not indicate that it was going to send to ffmpeg-user, but it
did. I think TBird has undocumented behavior regarding message IDs and
message threading.

However, that's different from what happened between us. What happened
between us was that you 'CC'ed me and I replied to your 'CC'.

With your 'CC', you took any further discussion between us, off-list.
When I replied to your 'CC', it was off-list (according to its recipient
("To") header, which should also be visible in your email client). You
then sent my reply to your 'CC' to the list. I guess you thought you
were being helpful.

The problem originated with your 'CC' -- it's essentially an invitation
to continue via a private discussion between you and the person you 'CC'.

'CC' is not necessary when you're responding to a mailing list because
the person that you want to see your reply will see it on the mailing list.

I hope that's clear. Peace. Regards--Mark.
