I don't by the "less functionality" argument any more than "if you have a good emailer". I think I have a good emailer, and on the "munging" lists, I press Reply-All, it will also send to the original author, but >95% of the case I want the list, and original author doesn't want two replies. > PS, this has nothing to do with SQL or QUERIES ... :) Completely agree, have to change the "implementation" of the OT here. INSERT INTO MailingList ( Features ) VALUES ( 'Munge the Reply-To header.' ); My question is, can this made work at the lists.mysql.com DB? ;o) Better? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
