Yes. I use outlook and have a similar problem. I press 'Reply to all' and then have to go to the extra trouble of deleting the authors address in the To field, and adding my [EMAIL PROTECTED] address in the From field. I have often wondered whether we could have a metrication newsgroup. It would not only be technically easer but it might be interesting to have a more open forum. What do people think? > 2.

I have seen hit-and-run requests for information on newsgroups.

Thanks. I appreciate that and will accept that you might sometimes forget. I generally prefer to stay in the same medium: emails get email replies, mailing list postings get mailing list replies. Going off-topic is a reason to switch of course. Unfortunately, I reply to email before the mailing list so I don't realise that a duplicate has occurred until the email version has been sent.
