I expect it is a combination of mail readers and peoples habits. If I click 'reply' in Outlook 2002, it will have your email addy, if I click 'reply to all' it will have the debian-user addy too. I am on other lists, and 'reply' will use the list address for them. Those messages have, among others, the following headers set to the posting address for that list. Resent-From: X-Mailing-List: X-Loop: Reply-To: List-Post: I do not know which makes outlook work, but for debian-users I would have to 'reply-all' and delete the senders addy. I do not always remember to. matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
