When I replied to the message (not noticing that it was a gatewayed post) the To address was the poster of the board post. Has something changed or was I wrong in my thinking. Jean Jean- Nothing has changed, but how your reply to a gatewayed post works on unmigrated lists depends upon the REPLY TO setting chosen for an individual list by the list admin. If the admin has the list set to REPLY TO LIST then hitting reply will send the reply ONLY to the list. If the list is set to REPLY TO SENDER then hitting reply will send a reply ONLY to the poster and if you hit REPLY ALL the reply will go to both the poster and the list. Joan

OK. Thanks Joan. I didn't realize that it could be set that way. We always read on the lists that to reply to a board post you need to go to the board, so I was really surprised when I checked the sent message (after realizing it was a board post) that it was addressed to the sender and not the mail list.
