Most mailing lists I'm on will send the reply to the list if I just hit reply. This one, however, sends the reply to the original poster. So, the only way I can send to the list is to hit reply all. I'm glad to delete the original poster's name if that's what I'm supposed to, but I thought it was being put there intentionally. I don't like the idea of my email address getting blacklisted if I forget to delete the original name however. Sincerely, Ron -- Sent from my Android Acer A500 tablet with bluetooth keyboard and K-9 Mail. Please excuse my potential brevity. (To whom it may concern. My email address has changed. Replying to former messages prior to 03/31/12 with my personal address will go to the wrong address. Please send all personal correspondence to the new address.) (PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, don't be concerned. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy mailing lists and such. I don't always see new email messages very quickly. If you need a reply and haven't heard from me in 1 - 2 weeks, send your message again.)
