Don't raise the bridge, lower the water, or, there are more ways to skin a cat! How about Send=Editor, [log in to unmask] You could add more editors if necessary, but this routes anything sent to the BITNET list to the right place and simplifies the Reply-To problem. (I'm not commenting on the general issue of how Reply-To should be set on Digests, I'm just commenting on redistributing mail from another list.)
