Don't worry: I don't think Mojca was accusing you of deceit.
‘Cheating’ is sometimes used in a looser sense to mean doing something
the easy way rather than the official way. I'm sure that that's what
was meant here.

Using reply-to for new messages is an understandable mistake that I've
seen on many mailing lists. For people not using threaded
mail-readers, it doesn't make any apparent difference. For the rest of
us, however, it messes up the conversations quite noticeably. I'll add
something to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Mailing_Lists about
it, since it seems we already have some useful guidelines there.
