Linda, After reading a message, if you hit <Reply> it should fill in the <To> line with the e-mail of the person who sent the original message. When you want to send a reply, you should address it to (as appropriate): [email protected] or [email protected] To make my life easy, I made two entries in my e-mail program's address book. One has the name of "et" and the e-mail address for the tech forum. The other has the name of "ef" and the address for the flyin group. When I want to address a message to the tech group, I just type et into the address line and tab to the next field. The program looks that "name" up in the address book and fills in the address. I've found that the "names" "et" and "ef" don't collide with any real names so it works well. It's a bit of a nuisance. But doing it this way cuts way down on the meaningless "me too" type of responses. People still make them, but since the address defaults to the original sender, the responses just go to that person (usually).
