Thanks for the info. I will try to remember to not use the "Reply All"
button in the future. By the way, could you explain the difference between
the "Reply" and "Reply All" functions? I'm sure that there are a lot of
people who are confused about them.
In ageneralised *e-mail* "discussion" an email is sent To one person (or
more) and cc several others. Reply sends the reply *only* to the sender of
the message being replied to; Reply All sends the message to that person
plus all those To'd and cc'd on the message being replied to (except, of
course, the person actualy doing the Reply All).
It has never been clear to me why a *News* reader should have both options.
Thanks, Harold. That clears up some misunderstanding for me. I recall
some discussion recently about the need to cc: the original sender if the
message came through the moderator. Wouldn't the "Reply All" function send
a reply to the original sender?
