I never intentionaly use any "Reply to All" function. In fact, this mailer doesn't even have a button for that. You have to select where the reply goes, after you hit the "reply" button, from a list of available addresses in the incoming message header, that the mailer has recognised. Just a thought as this problem is not going to go away. Dave B. PS: How about a "regional Beastie" wearing a headscarf and carring an assault rifle instead of a trident? That's me targeted then....
