Then send your reply to the list instead of to the sender. As I said, it's up to you to send your follow-up to the destination you intend, and your mailer should be able to help you with that. But, as I said, nobody but yourself knows if you want to send something to the sender of the mail you're commenting, or to the list. -- David Kågedal _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
