Unfortunately, Charles, about 99.3% of the general public, or, say, 87.2% of the people on this list don't have such a mail client. At the moment I'm using Mac Mail, which pulls the sender's name if I press Reply, and everybody's name if I press Reply All. As far as I remember Outlook has the same characteristics. I can't remember what T-Bird did on Linux and I haven't used pine in a hundred years. I think this is probably because Reply To is not set in most clients, and is filled in on sending from the Sender field. //J -- E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
