thanks.  the problem got worked out here...
one other question:
 
due to problems with discussions between two people being conducted
on the list, I am changing my list from reply-to= list to  reply-to= sender.
 
i have noticed that most other lists, regardless of who the reply goes to
are configured as
reply-to= list,respect
reply-to= sender,respect
 
whereas ours currently is
 
reply-to= list,ignore
 
having never made changes to this before, I don't know what 'respect'
and 'ignore' refer to, and don't want to make a change I will regret.
ould someone briefly tell me what the 'ignore' refers to?
 
thanks again
