That is because when a person such as myself wants to reply, we chose the
"reply all" instead of the "reply" option. That is because if we did the
"reply", it would only go to you. By using "reply all", we include the list
server.
Due to laziness, we do not delete the original sender from the "To" block.
What would be most helpful, if the list was set up so that choosing "reply"
would direct the response to the list only. That way everyone could use the
"reply" command and not the "reply all". This would also prevent
accidentally sending replies to those "cc'd".
Don, can this be done?
John
Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!
