[TenTec] Group replies vs. personal e-mail

When I look at any of the messages sent via the
reflector, the sender's address is always in the
FROM address field.

It is a very simple matter to cut the sender's address
from this field, click REPLY, then highlight the list
address in the TO field and paste the original sender's
address over it. This works great and insures that
only the orignal sender gets the reply

With all of the important things going on in the world,
I'm not sure why so much discussion has taken
place in the last month over this trivial issue.

73,
