All,

Please forgive me if I have already asked a similar question to the
group.  Anyhow here goes....

I have set up a private discussion list and I have problems.
Several of the subscribers are using our Internal Lotus notes system to
carry out discussions on this list.

The problem is that when a post comes through to them and they hit REPLY
to respond, this should (in theory) go back to the list and not the
original sender!  This does not happen, their responses go back to the
original sender and not the listname.
I have set up the list header as...

* REPLY-to= LISTNAME

This works fine in any other email client, apart from our Lotus Notes.
Therefore, our Lotus Notes must be ignoring the REPLY-to address and
just using the FROM address in this instance.

I have got our Lotus Notes guys on the case and it could take some time,
but I was wondering if there is anything within the HEADERS that we
could change the FROM field to the LISTNAME and not the person who is
sending the mail.

This is probably a ludicrous idea, as I see the LSTOWN discussion group
comes from the person sending the mail and not the LISTNAME...

Please let me know if this is feasible
