Mike will probably expand on this for us, Paula. I think the problem is in the archives. When we do it the way we've been doing it, it messes up the thread somehow. I'm going to try find a way to easily enter the group in the To: address, so I can enter a new subject and start fresh. I'm waiting to find out if this is the best way.
