well, i use pine, and from what I see pine defaults to replying to the user, and cc'n to the list, so it would mean going out of my way in changing the headers to get it to reply to the list and not CC. When i hit 'R' it says 'reply to all recipients?' if i say yes it cc's to the list, if i say no it just goes to you. maybe there is an option in pine to change this behavior, but that is what it seems to default to. ravika > let me re-affirm that it was *not* an attempt at being rude /etc but ravika >just the frustration of handling about 450 emails a day and getting ravika >multiple copies of the same thing isnt exactly the nicest thing to happen. ok, yeah i understand that, i setup seperate accounts for each list im on..one day i'll learn how to filter with procmail but until then .. ravika > my apologies if i went out of the way to annoy anyone. they were ravika >unintended. no offense recieved it's just a suprise to see a bunch of caps, i remember a few years ago when caps never bothered me, but now for some reason they do, makes it look like someone is screaming(co workers mail in CAPS all the time, makes me jump when the boss mails me in CAPS something :/) you may wayt to consider another way of saying that, say like in lower case with *'s on the outside. but in the end, it comes down to my client (pine 4.21) which cc's the list and replies to u instead of the other way around.. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 8:15am up 112 days, 19:59, 2 users, load average: 1.55, 1.60, 1.70
