I've seen the behavior you describe and it seemed to have started a year or so ago. It seems once you reply to a thread any responses to the main thread also go out as an offlist post to the person(s) in the thread. Scrolling down some of the carrots in the reply box is how I route a response to be just offlist. It defaults as you say but it seems like even if I'm not the original poster sometimes just replying to a thread and I start to get the offlist posts too. Perhaps that's because people manually add me into the "to" field.
At first I didn't like the double up but then I got use to seeing answers to questions I had posted on the L2 in my normal email without having to go to the Avid L2 yahoo page. My normal email automatically refreshes and sees new emails while the L2 yahoo page has to be refreshed. One less click every so often.

I've tried it a few times and its so sluggish, at least on my Mac Pro with plenty of Ram and an 8bay raid, it still stalls out. Today the Raid died so Im working on firewire raids and its impossible to edit with long clips. Transcoding is the only option and all this discussion and my endless transcoding time makes me look more and more to Premiere.
I have been asking it before but I'll do it again: what is actually wrong with editing everything in AMA and skipping the transcoding (and eventually relinking)stage completely? In the last years I have been editing multiple series of 30+ minute docs with 20 hrs+ of source material each and never had any serious issues doing so. The material mostly came from Sony F5 and FS7 in AVC100 HD format, playing from a 4 disk Raid5 storage disk.
When done, I do a mixdown to whatever flavor of DNxHD is needed (for CC) or export directly from the AMA linked timeline to HD MPEG50 (for Broadcast). The AvidMediaFolders stay pretty empty these days, except for renders, titles, imported graphics and MP4 stuff. I don't feel like I'm walking a dangerous path doing so, since everything feels and acts rock solid. Am I just lucky?
Dio van MaarenAMA will slow down the machine eventually, at least that's my experience with longer edits. And I have had crashes where I lost work because I waited to transcode. Not fun.
I generally transcode a few times as I go along. I cut in clips I know I will absolutely use, then transcode.
On shorter edits it hasn't been so critical. AMA does get you cutting faster without the transcoding first. But sometimes you pay for it!
