To my understanding, list software does not decide, except concerning MFT. *The* problem is users not responding to list, "L", but rather to all, "g". The expectation of one reading/writing a list that they would continue to do so until unsubscribing, a statement that they no longer will read the list. Responding to "list" mail *should* be to the "list" unless op has *specifically* requested direct mail. All other action is illogical and inefficient. Many tools exist for those wishing differing behavour. But, since the arrival of aol, email function has lost logic, courtesy and deviated from standard, multiplied greatly by m$. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
