Once or twice when I have wanted to reply to a mail on a list that I am not subscribed to, I have downloaded the raw e-mail in question from the list-archives, placed it in my mailbox and then replied to it just as if I had received it normally. It is a bit of work, but it works fine. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
