For those of you wishing to reply only to the individual who posted the email, you can also look at the top of your email in the "details" area and you should see the email address of the originator. Hopefully it is in the form of a "hyperlink", then it should be as easy as right clicking on the address and selecting "send mail" from the menu that opens up.

If it comes up with the originator's email >address in it, any replies go to that guy only and it's a real effort For those who want to respond to the originator only (at least from Outlook, I haven't tried other clients), simply right click on the e-mail address of the originator (following the phrase "on behalf of") which highlights the entire originator's e-mail address, select copy, then past it over the KRnet e-mail address in the response when selecting reply or reply to all in the tool bar for the message. Done deal and takes about 10 seconds. Mark W. N952MW (res)

If it comes up with the originator's email address in it, any replies go to that guy only and it's a real effort (more than many KRnet folks can muster, apparently) to change the email address to the whole list. The result would probably be a ten-fold drop in traffic (and therefore information, food for thought, and admittedly, drivel), and KRnet would cease to be as useful as it is. It's a little painful the way it is now, but it's an acceptable level of pain that I try to ride herd on . I think it's better to have more info exchanged and more drivel than to have less information going to the subscribers, and several informal polls over the years agrees. Same goes for switching to a web-based forum. That's not going to happen either, and that'd take me an hour or two to go through. I hear quite often that this is one of the better lists on the net regarding building homebuilt aircraft, and I'd like to keep it that way. I could change the "TO" field to just you, but others are probably wondering the same thing, and it makes sense to let everybody know right now, rather than answer that question twenty more times to individuals. Maybe it's just a self-defense mechanism for me, come to think of it. But for items that really only apply to one guy and nobody else would be interested (like cute little personal quips), deleting kr...@mylist.net from the TO field and copying the originator's email into the TO field is a great idea...

How come when an email comes from an individual and I hit reply does it put the KRnet email in the TO box and not the email address from whom it was sent? I think this is causing alot of email traffic that should be private. Craig
