Just one last spasmodic kick: You should see a "Mail-Followup-To" header in email to cygwin-xfree. It should be set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apparently some mailers honor this setting. I also have my mailer set up to always set the Reply-To in messages to the list since that is my personal preference. People *still* go out of their way to add me to CC lines but at least I only get the purposely clueless sending me email now, rather than the people who just hit 'r'. cgf
