If I want to respond to the group, I just double click on the addressee to select and start typing "lug@leica-users.org". By the time I get to "lu" the MacOS Mail program substitutes the whole address and I can click send. Same as when I originate a message except I don't have to double click. I understand that all mail programs are not alike and that it is probably more trouble for others. I have more trouble using the right email address to send the reply from. I have a half dozen email accounts and all except one will be rejected. As a result I tend to check the address fields carefully before sending. Having said all that, I'm more concerned about the effect the new setting has on choaking responses. I'd rather handle the old volume with liberal application of delete than miss a good discussion. Just my thoughts. Will On Feb 15, 2007, at 3:34 PM, Steve Unsworth wrote: > I sort of agree with you Ric, but I'd say 90% of my replies are > directly > back to the LUG.
