Using the included index that you provided, *I* was able to construct a
REPLY.  This is what I sent to:
[log in to unmask] and the body (just a
request for one item):

|054894 11/14   34 From:    Hugo Chapa-Guzman

This is what I received (though I elided the body):

(For the record, I'm under the impression that either the "Internet" was
very slow, or the LISTSERV(R) host was. YMMV.)

So, my belief is that her MAIL REPLY function does NOT do the right thing.
