If the "Reply To:" mail header value were populated with the list's email
address rather than that of the sender, then clicking the "Reply"
button(should) send a reply message to the list only. Reply All would of
coursestill send a message to the entire list of recipients in the header
naturally.

-0500Subject: Re: [Amps] Spam from Members of this List ...Steve, I just went
to the Yahoo Preferences page and found no such setting. I believe that is a
function of the way the reflector sends the messages out. This is not likely
to change as it is probably engrained in the entire Yahoo Culture. Unless the
moderator has the power to change this, I doubt that anything will
happen.73,Mike, W5UChttp://members.cox.net/w5uc----- Original Message -----

register thatremoves the multiple copies if someone sends to the list and to
theindividual.Steve_______________________________________________Amps mailing
