Frank,
I use Thuderbird email client and it, too, automatically sets
the Reply-to to be my address. Every post I make to any of
the listserv lists I manually copy the 'to' address into the
'Reply-to' address before I send (well, sometimes I forget).
Can you not do this in Yahoo mail?

P.S. Note I said _every_ listserv. I am on mvs-oe, ibm-main,
ibmtcp, ispf-l, and tso-rexx as well as this list, and I
have to do this copy and paste for all of them.
i.e.: it's not the list, it's Yahoo, is my conclusion.
What follows is a copy that I sent to the list owner last August:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It appears that when ASSEMBLER-LIST forwards messages it, unlike other
listservs, does not modify the “reply-to” field when it is present.
This means that when I send email from this email account (yahoo.com) to this listserv, it
retains the "Reply-To: Frank Swarbrick <[email protected]>" email
header that yahoo.com unfortunately adds to my email. This means that when someone does a
REPLY rather than a REPLY ALL the reply ends up being directed to me personally rather than the
list. I can find no way on yahoo.com to make it eliminate the Reply-to field (I can change it;
I just can't eliminate it).
Looking at the configuration for this list at
http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?SL2=1975&R=623&[email protected]
I see that the following is specified:
Reply-to= List,Respect
My guess is that it should be changed to this:
Reply-To= List,Ignore
which is how it is configured for the IBM-MAIN listserv:
http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?SL2=2491&R=535&[email protected]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, while the list owner responded, the setting was never changed.
And I never followed up. Perhaps the list owner will read this and change it
now.
Frank

Scott,
Ya' _gotta'_ set the Reply-to address to the group, or
none of us sees the replies.
Anyway, I would start here:

They have many code pages; find the two you are working
with and build your own table.
