For me, at least, most (98%) of emails arrive "immediately". However,
since I'm on a cable modem, "double mails" are just a hassle; I delete
the extras.

People on dial-up, especially those who are on metered access, may
not appreciate the extra download time, though.

In Evolution, I am able to do "Actions->Reply to List" Outlook 97
doesn't have such a feature, but I'm sure that MozMail, Pine and Mutt
do.
