Joann, Hitting "reply to all" will reply to everyone who originally received the message you are replying to. Do a test: Choose "reply" and look at the TO... block on the top of your message screen. It will have the name of the sender there. Close that then try "reply to all". You should see the original senders name and Kentucky-Legends-L@folklore.rootsweb.com. Only the addresses listed in the TO... box will receive your message.

Am I not getting my messages through to everybody? If we hit send to all, won't that put our message out to everyone in our entire e-mail bank? I am on a line for church and one for genealogy and I don't think they would understand why they were receiving these messages.
