Hi Anne, The OSLIST messages are explicitly designed using a standard email "structure" of a "reply-to" field that goes to the list and to the sender. Most email programs use that field so when you hit reply it uses the requested list of reply-to recipients. This reply-to field is really only a

Hi Harold Thanks for that. It is no biggie, I like solving mysteries and this one is frustrating me. The tyranny of not knowing sits uncomfortably on me, and I am beginning to thing that the ether is taking over the 'reply' functions on my email. I did not have to paste the OSList address into
