Really? Interesting. My intuition has always been that when I ``reply'' to a message, it is replying to the sender who sent it (or his preferred address for replies to be read), not a forwarding mechanism or group. List-reply seemed to be a logical extension of email activity when I want to discuss the issue with the list, rather than just the sender. I think as a new user I would be more embarrassed if I ended up replying to a list with a message intended for the sender rather than to the sender with a message for the list (which he would receive anyway. :) I vote to keep it the way it is on the principle of least embarassment. --mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
