Well, Richard, you merely go to the welcome message that was sent to you upon subscribing. That will tell you how to reach the listowner. It is far more expeditious to have the Reply-To header set to the list address since the great majority of folk, when replying to a list post, wish to post their reply to the list. They want that task to be as quick and easy as possible. Thus they hit "reply" and away they go. In the event that you need to direct the reply to the poster instead of to the list, then you must remember to adjust the headers accordingly. Mindreading isn't Brian's game. My most humble opinion... keep it the way it is! - -- Roger Mailto:roger@beamon.org
