Gena, pretty close ... all Board subscribers (including the original poster) would be able to read your Board reply (IF you replied through the Board URL) and then the List would receive your reply as well, gatewayed from the Board (because on the GATES List, the Board/List gateway is currently open). Of course, if you replied to the original poster directly (i.e., NOT through the Board URL), then there would be no post to be gatewayed to the List so list subscribers wouldn't get your reply, hence the need, in such a case, to also post to the List (I could have been a bit clearer on this point earlier!) Trust this helps ... PSW Regena Lally wrote: > Peter, > > So she posted too the board only, and then that message was gatewayed to the > list?
