This is an optional setting of the list-serv software, chosen by the list owner. It is an annoyance to those of us who have completely set up our mail programs. I am on one other list that does this, and I keep a canned message (see below) that I send to off-list replies, whenever tey are not obviously provate. ********************** You replied to my posting directly to me. If you intended it to go to the list, you must resend it. Some listservers pass through the "reply to" field without offering you the choice of the "from"or the "reply to" address when you start a reply. I usually hit "reply all" and delete what I don't want to avoid this problem. ********************* On Wed, 5 Dec 2001 10:18:16 -0800, Paul Hirose wrote: >I too have noticed the inconsistent "Reply-To" fields, just as George >described.
