I'm on a couple lists where that behavior is implemented by default, and it is a GIANT pain in the a**, as it subverts *the entire point* of having a mailing list. Also, a cursory examination of RFC2822 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html> shows no mention *whatsoever* about Reply-to pointing to a list; the only things it mentions are some obsoleted versions of the Reply-To header and what should take priority in the absence of a Reply-To header. I'll gladly stand corrected if you can tell me the section number of the RFC where this behavior is noted as 'non-compliant'. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
