Hi Martin, Gene, Still OT: but interesting... Wow, I somehow 'knew' there would be a reason, and it even sounds very reasonable ;=)) It seems you are the SOLE person conforming to this 'norm' ;=)) and saving the server from a barrage of fail messages... thanks, I think... It appears your email header does contain a From: and a Reply-to:, and the only other difference, as Gene mentions, is that your email client further sets a Newgroups: field... >From experience, in my Evolution, unlike Alpine, when I click [Reply], if there is only a From: then will use that; if a Reply-to: use that; but if Newgroups: do neither... strange... But on the other hand the online GMail client does not 'show' this Newgroups: field, and thus uses the Reply-to: field on clicking [Reply]... Regards, Geoff.
