No. That has nothing to with "normal" usage of "reply-to" (meaning that you set the header yourself with a purpose). If you have two mail addresses and want answers to go to a different address than the one you're writing "from", you set the "reply-to" field. If you want the replies to go to your "from" address, why would you set the "reply-to" header? Maybe I'm not seeing what you see... "reply-to" has higher priority than "from" in any good email program. If there is a "reply-to" header, it will be used as target address (when one chooses to write a reply). If there is no "reply-to" header, the "from" address is used, so if "reply-to" equals "from" its totally redundant. A listmailer is something special - the MailMan for the TB lists is configured to overwrite any existing reply-to headers with the list address (at least it looks that way, and most listmailers that serve discussion lists - rather than announcement lists - will do so). You can set your reply-to header to your privat address, the listmailer will overwrite it, anyway (or append the list address to the existing header, depending how it is configured). -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) using v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 Deliplayer2 is playing: "Five Million Years, They Knew" by Turban Bloc from the 1997 album 'Signs Of Life' ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.1 Beta/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
