Indeed, if you have "Ignore" your Reply-To: >is ignored and whatever default you specified is used. If you have >"Respect", the list uses the Reply-To: you specified. "Respect" says, "If the author generated a 'Reply-To:' line, I trust it." "Ignore" says, "I don't trust author-generated 'Reply-To:' lines; insert mine!" What I'm asking for is, "Take any Reply-To: fields with a grain of salt and add ours for completeness." Note that this is not the same as "Both" because one can't assume an author-generated Reply-To: field points to the From: address. >How are responses being aimed to me in this scenario? :-) a) Whoops. Originally I used ERIC@SEARN, not [log in to unmask], but I missed a reference when I decided to go to a more plausible scenario. :-) b) The University of Notre Dame is pleased to announce that it's drafting Eric Thomas of L-Soft Inc, whether he likes it or not, to become an Assistant Director in its Office of University Computing. :-) :-) :-) Nick * Intelligence demands reasons, not rules.
