Richard, I usually do, also. That's how I noticed both addresses in the 'To:' line which caused the question. Just as in your message, so you should get two of these. One personal and one to the list. David, I understand the 'reply to all' thing but I only (usually always) did only the 'reply' thing. The senders address as well as the list address came up on the To: line. Maybe when the sender sends the post, he puts both addresses on the To: line? Hey, nothing earth shattering here. I was just wondering. :-) Avery At 06:30 PM 4/12/2006, you wrote: >I have gotten into the habit checking the address that comes up when >I hit the reply button.
