That's the problem. There is a "reply" button and a "reply to all". If you press "reply", you get only a "To:" field with the individual address filled in. If you press "reply to all", you get a "To:" field with the individual address and a "Cc:" field with the list address. You have to cut and paste the list address from "Cc:" to "To:" and delete the individual address. > [A better method would be to have a per-list option to enable the > reply-to-list-only behavior -- that way only people who actually know > what they're doing would be bothered by it.] I agree on that. On topic: Bret, did you get a chance to reinstall and try a new profile? I think that should help, or at least eliminate what I think is the most likely problem.
