No, it isn't just your problem - this is why listowner/administrators ask that you put your eMail address under your signature (as well as something about your physical location) in each message sent. Also helps with the digest, where sometimes the headings are lost and again the sender's eMail address is missing. Thanks to all for your attention to this. But anything of substance, such as Carol's very interesting comments on the columnists, would appropriately go the the whole list anyway. It is only little notes of thanks and other such items not of general interest that should bypass the list and go direct to another lister.
