I don't understand the logic behind that. Then you should read section 3.5 of RFC-2076 and section 3.6.2 of RFC-2822, so you can be enlightened. See also all of the Draft RFC draft-meyer-reqbehaviors-manager, which mandates that end-to-end fields not be modified, and specifically prohibits their insertion by mailing list server software. Frankly, your headers indicate that your MUA is Outlook Express version 6.00.2720.3000. In that MUA, there is an icon bar in the message viewing window, ans the second and third buttons from the left are "Reply" and "Reply All", respectively. In addition, if you were in the message crowsing window, which displays the "Subject:" lines and other information about messages, you can use the right mouse button to get a menu, where the third menu item is "Reply to Sender" , and the fourth is "Reply to All". Finally, the fifth entry in the program menu bar is "Message", and the thirs and fourth items are identical to those in the right-button menu previously discussed. Actually, you had to go a fair distance out of your way to send a private message to a mailing list, since you had to manually add an address. The manual addressing of a message that you are claiming, being unnecessary (despite your claim to the contrary) because of the seperation of reply options. -- Terry -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
