I do a reply and then cut/paste (the e-mail address of the person I am
directing thanks to) over the Legacy address under To:

The other thing about this Wendy is if you reply to the person
personally you will have to cut and paste the original message.

Valerie asked "Is it better to acknowledge the help given or does this
add unnecessarily to the list ?"
Saying "thank you" and acknowledging the help you've received is always
a polite thing to do, and not doing so can have a detrimental effect on
future requests. Someone who helped you once may decide it isn't worth
their while to help you another time if you don't show this common
courtesy.
Posting a thanks to the list for each individual response is a bit much,
and can clutter the list. Better, in my view, to wait a while and post
once acknowledging the names involved in helping you, or post a generic
one thanking all but not naming them. Or reply privately to each poster
who has helped you - this last one requires a little more work on your
part when it's a discussion on the LUG, because you have to remember to
replace the list address in the To: field with the poster's address to
make it a private email - but with a little thought and care it can be
done.
Hope this helps. :-)
Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard
