This is a relatively minor change and the dark side of the force seem to
be gathering strength against it. The list headers still have the u2ug
address in them and your rules should still apply. If not, then change
them so they do!
Perhaps the dark side haven't really explained themselves well but I
can't understand what the fuss is about. There seem to be a number of
hypotheticals that assume people are incapable of managing change.
I would note again, this is NOT a unique list situation. This is in
fact, a more common setup than one thinks. Perhaps somebody could
subscribe to the Sun Managers list, one does not reply to the list, only
to the sender and the sender then publishes a summary, or perhaps one or
two of the MySQL lists which use exactly this system.
All lists to which I subscribe use their own methods for managing the
reply, you just get used to them. The subscribers to these lists seem to
handle the situation quite well. In fact, I note recent posters to this
list, have all managed to reply to the list without issue and my outlook
rules have placed their messages in the correct folder.

For once, Tony, I totally agree with you.... All U2 list postings are
now
going to my "trash" bucket....
Please put it back to how it was... The knee jerk goes too far t'other
way....
