It's the way the listserver is set up Jim.  It SHOULD be configured to
format the Reply address as the LISTSERVER address, but instead is set to
the person who posts. This means you can't do like all other lists I'm on
and hit "Reply". On other lists this replies to the listserver so everyone
automatically gets the mail.

In this case you either have to hit Reply All and everyone gets two copies
of the mail (one direct and one from the listserver) or just use Reply (it
becomes a private message) or hit Reply ... format your answer and then
paste it into a new message to the listserver. It's a CF.

Does anyone from the list management lurk here ? Is it a simple enough thing
to get changed over ?
regards
