I don't use MD2V. Does it work for you, if you put it anywhere else
than $microdot/Rexx, and call it by shell?

Same here (NC3 key).

Well, yes ...

Same experience as Mike reported before. I have the scripts in
$microdot/Rexx, and when I start the third one, MD2 automagically
downloads the newsgroups list.

What mailer does Dave use, some different than md2 1.4.15?
There is a bug in 1.4.15: when the 'Reply-To:' string in PGP&Specials
is empty, it adds an empty 'Reply-To: ' to the message composed,
otherwise (ie when put something there), it doesn't set a Reply-To
header line.
Sounds like Dave's mailer looks for that Reply-To line, and, if it
isn't present, it takes the reply address of the From header
(the rfc2822 conforming way).
Solution (only for 1.4.15 users), put one single dot or something
there, and no Reply-To will be added by md2. If you still want to use
a Reply-To, add it manually as a custom header.
