I don't expect that. 2) You shouldn't munge the Reply To field. The Reply To field was only one of several possibilities I mentioned. >Mailing list software should not munge headers, ever. If I set a >reply-to in mail I send out, I expect replies to go to that reply-to >address. It is as simple as that. If a simple, wholesome way could be found to make the mailing list act consistantly, it would make my life a little easier. Apparently, other people are having similar experiences. If it will make your life significantly more difficult, forget it. We don't expect you to sacrifice your peace of mind to simplify our lives slightly. Bob Hall
