That is correct! Anything else would be a recipe for spam--non-subscribed users are be "moderated" through if the message merits--often with a personal note back from the moderator on how to subscribe. >> The reason I am asking this is because sometimes I see people >> replying to just the users list, > >That's the correct way to do it. No dis-courtesy copies. Never. +1 By replying directly to user, you are implying that you are taking response "off list"--please do so if that is your intent, i.e. to criticize or "guide" so as not to embarrass other subscribers don't need or want to see that. Otherwise the netiquette is to address discussion for the list to read--and keep response civil. So, use the "respond to all" option of your email reader of choice, it SHOULD pick up the mail list address. Delete the "other" direct addresses. And finally TRIM away any of the extra crud in the message. Leave just enough for the message to stand on its own, but not be distracting either to read--or when viewed in context in a News group reader or a web archive like Nabble.
