Of course.

The message I was replying to was not a message sent on the xenomai
mailing list. It was a private message. So, the To: field was set to
the sender only. I did not notice, sent the mail. Then did not see
the mail coming to the list, looked at the mail, so it had not been
sent to the list, so bounced the message, again, because it is
easy and has the advantage that the new mail has the same id than
the first mail, so allows eliminating the duplicate.

No, the mailman documentation recommends against that, it is a
recipe for sending private mails to the list unintentionally, which
is way worse than the opposite.
