It makes sense really to me, as the email is coming from the person who wrote it, and it's behaving as if we're just bcc'd in as a list. I think the fault is with the email clients that don't understand mailing lists. Incidentally, I saw someone mention the Evolution email client in this thread. It's what I use, and it does have a reply to list option (but I tend to be a bit lazy and hit reply to all as the option is in a menu and not on the toolbar :-/ ) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
