Well thanks for this.
For ages I have a problem where on two email lists that changed their
address, but not their name, when I'd reply to the list Entourage would
always put in the old address. (Why it did not use the reply to address but
put in a different one I don't understand).
If I didn't remember to manual change the address, my message never made
it to the list (which was about 23% of the time).
This should clear that up.
