You need to decide which is the lesser of these evils: * pictures are posted to list * novice/careless users reply to poster when they intended to reply to the list. Even better is the new * Attachments= keyword if you are on a new enough flavor of Listserv(r). >From the list owners manual: +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | Reply-To= List|Sender|Both|None|net-address,[Respect|Ignore] | +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Indicates whether the "Reply-to:" tag supplied by the sender of the mail file is to be preserved or discarded (if present), and, if discarded or omitted, what should be placed in the new "Reply- to:" generated by the server. The default value is "Reply-To= List,Respect". Note that some mailing systems are unable to process a "Reply-To:" field with multiple addresses correctly and may therefore disregard the Reply-to= Both option and treat it as Reply-to= List. The two parameters are specified as follows: First parameter: List Replies are directed to the list address. Sender Replies are directed to the original sender. Both Reply to both the original sender and to the list (see note regarding this above) None No Reply-to: header is generated unless ",Respect" is specified and a Reply-to: header is present in the original posting, in which case replies are directed to wherever the Reply-To: tag points. net-address Replies are directed to the specified internet address Second parameter: Respect The original "Reply-to:" tag on the posting, if any, is kept. If no valid Reply-To: tag exists in the posting, the value defined in the first parameter of this keyword is used. Ignore The original "Reply-to:" tag on the posting, if any, is ignored and discarded, and the value defined in the first parameter of this keyword is used instead. If Reply-To= None,Ignore, then a Reply-to: tag will never be generated by LISTSERV. -- Rich Greenberg Work: Rich.Greenberg atsign worldspan.com +1 770-563-6656 N6LRT Marietta, GA, USA Play: richgr atsign netcom.com +1 770-321-6507 Eastern time zone.
