Thank you to everyone who offered advice on my question, both via the list and privately. My list IS set for Reply-To=list,respect. I AM using RiceMail. And the person who sent the item for posting DID add a separate "Reply-To:" field. Maybe my reader has a strange mailer. Anyway, I've learned a lot (thanks) and have filed away all the comments for the day when another survey comes to be posted. Will the system have chnaged by then? :-) -- Martin
