Hi Karl

I understand what you are saying but in the same way that you don't optimise
your gear for how it feels out of the water, the list should be configured
for list use, not personal mails.

In the instance that you do need to send a private mail, it's only a matter
of swiping the email address off the header and pasting into the new
message. I find that setup much simpler than dicking around with editing
fileds or needlessly doubling server traffic by using Reply All.

Hey, we can't all even agree on what volume of gas is in a tank, how we
gonna get this sorted ! <g>

regards
