Yeah, that is the point. And that happens, though, because people get in the habit of using reply-all. Sometimes I don't want to send me answer to the list, though, so it's convenient to be able to reply directly to the poster. I find it very annoying when I can't reply directly to the sender and I have to cut and paste addresses (like someone else mentioned) in order to email them. Even worse, but unrelated, is Outlook express's inability to reply to postings that are made from the newsgroup... very annoying! ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
