Hi Vicky:
If you are using the PC and Outlook Express or any other mail reader to send
mail, when you invoke the REPLY TO ALL feature, the TO field is POPULATED
WITH THE ADDRESSES of all persons whose addresses apear in the original
thread. So, the best approach is to Shift-Tab to the TO field and delete
all other addresses except that of the list.
It is a good practice to cultivate because it reduces clutter.
Originally, the REPLIES always went directly to the list; but there was a
GOOD DEAL OF PROTEST about the list being cluttered with several OFF TOPIC
issues. I think Messrs. Mosen and Jackson were at the helm of affairs when
the change was affected, but I may be wrong on that one!! Those who live
outside the United States and PAY FOR THE INTERNET by the minute complained
that their inboxes were being CLOBBERED with the various responses to
whatever I say on here, <smile>; so, the list managers changed the rules to
ensure that ALL REPLIES, unless you choose to REPLY TO ALL, should go
directly to the sender.
I can't say whether or not it is a good idea; I contend that anyone
subscribing to a list should be prepared for a trillion vagaries, else, go
digest!!
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
