they have not done it both ways since long before window eyes 7, it's
probably been close to ten years since it was control-r to reply to
all, like all other lists.
they have their reasons, and they are not our reasons that is for sure.

I too agree with Robert; if this list has been operated in some other mode,
it's been a very very long time ago. Certainly not since I've been a
Window-Eyes user, which happened when version 7 was released (I think around
2008). I think this statement that they keep trying it both ways is
misleading at best.

Subject: Re: replying to emails
Allow me to clarify something in return. I have been on and am on
many
support lists for all the various products and services I use. This GW
Micro Info list is the *ONLY* list that is set up to send replies to the
recipient and not to the list.
I have given my feedback, many others have as well. If this lsit was
set up at one time to send replies to the list, I have never seen it. If
GW has changed it back and forth several times, why? It defies common
sense. Whatever the rationale may be, it does not fly.
And what is of interest is how many times this same discussion has
been
recycled over the years. And will continue to be recycled in the future. :)
