From my I would suggest that perhaps it would be better to educate people as to proper use of the field rather than telling them never to use it. I would guess that maybe you don't deal with lists which regularly have long surveys, say ten screens of questions. One definitely wants replies to those to go to the sender, not the list. Same goes for notices of conventions, conferences, etc. with applications attached. One doesn't want those sent to the list (the person in charge will probably never see such if sent to the list). I still like Both,Respect . We've been using it for seven years now with reasonable success, and we don't have to yell at subscribers who missend items which should be sent privately nearly as much as we used to. After years of lectures they do seem to paying a bit more attention. Or, cyincally, maybe their mail systems hold their hand every step of the way so they don't stray from the proper path. :-) Douglas Douglas Winship Hays County, Texas [log in to unmask] Secondary AUTOCAT Listowner MEDLAB-L
