Rony, thank you for catching the fact that my message only went to you, and thank you for forwarding it on to the entire list.

*Especially since it was supposed to go to the entire group ( oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net )*

I wanted those that have been working on release 5.0's  program and documentation "systems" to know that they _ARE_ appreciated.

I use Thunderbird as my email client [**/*LINUX 68.4.1 (64-bit*) /], and it seems that the developers have made a change as to what the "REPLY" button uses as an address. Furthermore, Thunderbird sometimes displays a *"REPLY"* _and_ a *"REPLY TO LIST"* button, _and at other times_ it only displays a *"REPLY"* button.

I have checked several times now, and on the message that I used as a base for my reply, only a "REPLY" button is displayed. The resulting "to" address in my reply is your direct email address, rather then the expected address of /oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/ especially since the message headers in your message have a very clearly defined header of:
/Reply-To: Open Object Rexx Developer Mailing List//
// <oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>/

I am unable to determine how Thunderbird decides what to use when only a "REPLY" button is displayed. (Your message had both _Reply-TO:_ and _From:_ headers, all correctly formatted --- nor was I able to determine why ThunderBird does not always display _both_ buttons when a "list" message is being displayed.

If only a "REPLY" button is displayed, it sometimes uses the LIST address, and sometimes it uses the message originator's email address.

I have examined the message headers on various reply's  and I have not yet found a pattern to explain the differences in operation.

Bill,

thank you for your suggestion, will incorporate it immediately.

BUT: you only sent your answer to me personally not to the list for which it was probably meant for!

Cheers
