In Evolution, the reply appears in the Sent Mail list (at least on mine,
but that could be because I sent it from Evolution). However, you have
to configure Evolution to store all Sent Mail on the Gmail/Sent Mail
folder for that to work properly (IMHO, again that's how I have it set
up, and it shows up there for me).

But, you are correct in that you have to physically check it to see if
it sent to the group or just the person. I think it would be better if
the list would send your messages back to you as a posted message.

Have a great day:)
Patrick.
