In this case, the subscriber probably doesn't even know he's got his
"Reply-To" field set. However, 1. I don't want to screw up his system by
asking him to change it; 2. I don't want to have to deal with other
folks who may come in with their "Reply-To" fields also set that way. If
he WERE doing a survey or something, it probably wouldn't be appropriate
on my list anyway! ;-)

btw...I don't feel so bad now about not knowing the "ignore" option--I
can't find it in the listowner memo or the other files I've got. I
obviously don't have enough instruction files!
