Gary, As far as I know, when replying to a MOPO message if you click "reply to sender" your reply will go ONLY to the original sender. But, if you click "reply to ALL" then your reply will go to the group. It looks like that is the way it is still working, so if a post you meant to spend privately ended up going to the entire list I think you must have hit "reply to all" by mistake. I always glance at the TO: field in my message composition window before clicking send to make sure it is going where I want it too -- "reply to all" can be a double-edge sword. Once I inadverantly "replied to all" with a scathing indictment of stupid customer. I thought I was sending it only to my colleague who was working on the customer's problem along with me, but... you guessed it... since I hit "reply to all" a copy went to the customer as well. We lost that account and I almost lost my job over it.
