<br>Subject: Reply Functions
<br>
<br>> This "reply to" option is surely a protocol set up by the list server--I
<br>> really can't see what control I have over it. My inquiry to the (human)
<br>> ADS list operator re my last little [=20] suffix on each line problem
<br>> was ignored, perhaps someone with more patience than I would like to
<br>> nail this one.
<br>
<br>No matter how an email program treats the reply-to header, perhaps one could
<br> check to see that the message is headed in the proper direction by choosing the
<br> proper button, menu or command that allows one to address any message, new or
<br> reply.
<br>
<br>Also, I am not the listserv master, but as far as I know, it is standard for a
<br> listserv to default the reply-to address to the original sender of the message,
<br> not the list itself. This prevents people from hitting the reply button and
<br> sending what I suspect would be volumes of peer-to-peer mail to the entire
<br> list.
<br>
<br>Finally, in regards to the [=20] at the end of your lines: this is a function of
<br> MIME mail. In your email program or server, there is bound to be a function
<br> that makes your messages "MIME-compliant." Turn it off. This is how I solved
<br> the problem when I had it.
