just a FYI on this one I have mine set to * Reply-to= Sender,Ignore Sex-L usually generates about 1000 to 4000 lines of e-mail per day, and I want people to have to decide to send it to the list rather than just automatically defaulting to the list. For a while there back when AOL first came on the net, it looked like their default mail option was: reply to every e-mail you get regardless of whether you have anything to add to the conversation and forcing people to have to alter it to send it to the list *seems* to have helped. I haven't had anyone e-mail me and tell me that they can't change their to: field to the list address. Out for now, Betty
