Ken and Art, As you can see, I am on Aol, and I have never used the "reply to all" choice before this discussion came up. When I did try "reply to all" both the GEN-COMP-TIPS-L, and the Digest mode came up in my "send to" box. Any time I have only wanted to send a note, or a thank you to someone that has posted something I was interested in, and not to the list, I just copy and paste their email address from their post, and put it in the "send to" box. Just my thoughts, Nancy O.
