This message is from the T13 list server.

FYI... Please pay attention when you reply to a T13 reflector (list
server) message. This new list server is not configured the same as
the previous ones with respect to the From: and Reply-To: header
lines.

The previous T13 list servers set the From: to the submitter's email
address and the Reply-To: to the list server's email address. This
would normal cause any reply to be sent back to the list.

Some list servers are configured the other way: From: is the list
server and Reply-To: is the submitter. This would normally cause any
reply to be sent back to the submitter.

As an operator of a list server I know you can never keep everyone
happy. Some people like/want the first configuration, others
like/want the second configuration. I like the first configuration.

But the current T13 list server is has a third configuraiton: The
From: is the submitter and there is no Reply-To: line. So if you just
reply to a T13 message, like this message, that reply will go only to
the submitter of the original message (for this message that would be
me).

Of course you should be running an email program that lets you see
and control which email address(es) are used when you send out a
reply. I know some popular email programs don't have this feature and
in others it is something that must be enabled. As you have noticed
now and then someone's private message will end up posted to this
reflector. I can only assume the sender's email program is defective
and not showing the sender what it is really doing and/or not showing
the email addresses the private message is being sent to.
