Dave. I don't have such pulldown. Can you name the software that is having that feature?

It's just a matter of what the default is in the TO: pull-down menu. Either way, misfires are bound to occur until everyone gets used to it. We all just have to pay attention to what we have selected in the pull-down. Personally, I would like to add a fourth option that would allow me to reply to the message board and e-mail the individual, but that would probably only confuse the issue even more.
