Well, I haven't read much of the list lately - but I'm down with a cold and can't concentrate on work. Just two points: Why isn't easier to reply off list? Is there no way to do this without (in my mail at least) having to copy and paste the writer's address into another window. Can't it be set up so that one can hit "reply' in whatever mail server one is using and it will only be sent to the person to whom one wants to replY? and using "Reply all" would send it to the list as well, but it would have to be a conscious decision. On PDML I have found even if I take the list address off the send to line it goes to the list - forcing it to the "reply to". The other list I'm on (which is a yahoo groups list) the opposite is true - one has to do an extra step to send to the list. That list was set up that way for the very reason that people were publicly saying stuff that they had meant to be private - and once it was something not just idealistic but intensely personal (That list's members are mostly people who know and see each other in real life a lot more often than those here.) The other point is simply that I think signature lines, no matter what they say (beyond one's name and "address", are one of the most annoying features of email. I never read them and strip them out when replying - they just clutter things up. sniffle sniffle, achoo achoo annsan
