hi donald, agreed. also, it would help to change the FROM field, because I hate having to cut and paste the actual adress of the list whenever I reply to something. just as now, I have to change the adress, because the default re: is your address, not the list's. and I don't like to reply directly, because it bypasses the list and I know that _I_ like to lurk and read other peoples' questions _and_ answers... >Jim's problem is that the thinkpad list does not reset the FROM field to >the list, so his email client sees the message as from an individual, not >from the list. Thus, the auto replies - it's not possible for him to >filter his replies so the list doesn't get it because the list doesn't >identify itself! > >While you can certainly argue that this is irrelevant to this point, there >are some other worrysome issues - the list does not indicate messages as >being from a mailing list AT ALL.
