Actually, Lou, the options presented to me are "Reply"
and "Reply All". On another list I belong to, "Reply"
goes to the original poster and "Reply All" goes to everybody
to the sender and everybody to whom the original msg was addressed
(i.e. the "To" header on a msg created by "Reply All" would
tend to be
To: "Original Sender", "Mailing List"
while the result of "Reply" would be
To: "Original Sender"
Ok ... with that out of the way, -this- mailing list is
configured such that "Reply" generates this:
To: "Mailing List"
(Actually "Reply All" does the same thing ... it doesn't
even add the original sender separately)
In order to make a reply to the original sender w/o including
the list you must a) cut & paste the original sender's address
from their original e-mail into the "To" field of the reply, and
b) notice that the response is not going just to the original
sender in the first place.
IMO it would be better if this list were configured such that
it were not itself the default "Reply" address to all msgs that
came from it, but it is. So please don't be so hard on the
folks that take the easy way out & don't try to cut & paste
just to address one poster.
(btw: what mail client are you using that you get a "reply
to sender" button that works w/ this list?)
