Simply put, there are mail clients available which are mailing-list aware. To reply to the list you hit the "reply-to-list" button , to reply to the sender you hit the "reply" button, to reply to everybody and their dogs hit the "reply-to-all" button. Now the mail client that you're using does not handle mailing-lists correctly, so instead of looking for a better mail client you want the mailing-list fixed instead? It's a bit like saying "damn, I can't fully utilise the features of MS Exchange with my non-Outlook client, why don't MS fix Exchange so I can use it Yahoo mail?" -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* To the landlord belongs the doorknobs. */
