This is a mailing list, not Usenet. For Usenet you'd be using a different client, to boot. Generally, when a message was addressed To: the list, the reply should also be addressed To: the list, with no Cc: unless the author has explicitly asked for it. > There is one case where I *want* someone replying to my post to > reply to me *and* cc the list.

Since we're talking about ettiquette, could you please set your mailclient up so that it wordwraps lines at 72 columns? -- Regards, Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
