Yes, that's my point. You have to know to do that manually. It
should
be automatic, or at a minimum, configurable.
Ah, I misunderstood your point. I thought that you meant that *even
though* the footer may have been removed a successful reply is not
guaranteed.

What a firestorm I created!
Just for all your information, I am using Thunderbird which I see does
automatically remove the footer when I reply. I am also clicking on that
clear and obvious button which states "Reply List." Many other email
clients do not have that, even overpriced Microsoft Outlook. So in the
past, I have used that client, and many times accidentally replied
directly to the person responding. Maybe the mail list server should be
stripping that out, or instead adding in a "reply to" so it goes to the
list, and not the person's email?
Anyway, thanks to help from here, I am now sitting at Chapter 8.3.
Wondering and debating a couple of things.
The debate is whether to change out the default Tux logo with one of
mine own, and what to use.
The other item I am pondering, I will just have to look online for an
answer, as I am sure it has been asked before.
