For every setting there will be cases where people forget to specify their intent and use the default. If the default is private and the message is meant to be public you have to resend it. That is annoying but not a big deal. If the default is to the list and the message is meant to be private then the scope for damage is much greater. There is a reply to list option so it's not as if this will even take more time for someone who is acting deliberately. But I believe it's a great benefit to have the results of a poorly considered action have the smallest scope by default. I am sure that there is a correlation between sending an ill considered message and not carefully considering which reply option to use.

If so you can have your main address be subscribed but with delivery turned off (so you can post) and your secondary address enabled for delivery. It works for me. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
