So which one is it? Is tehre a fix for this? I've found that the problem is almost always with their mail/mailer in that their site is not putting the *SAME* From: line in mail being 'sent' as it does in mail being 'reply'd to. So, when folks complain I send them the following canned blurb and have found it works almost all the time. ------------------------ Try this, I'm told this works almost all the time: 1) e-mail your 'sub' request to listserv 2) when you get the request to confirm: e-mail your 'ok' command to listserv *do not* use 'reply'
