    3. Hi All, Thanks for all the replies! I've been happily responding to most who replied, thinking they were going to the list server. NOT! They were all private replies. The list server is not configured to automatically allow the REPLY button to respond to the list -- instead, it replies to the sender privately. I suppose this is the action desired here, but it's no wonder there is very little traffic on the list! :-) It's usual for a list server to configure the Reply-To: header for replies to the list. Anyway, I woke up finally... If no one objects, I'll repost my Smith data to date and maybe I can catch some new data. :-) Thanks, Steve

    3. I don't know about your mailer program, but my Netscape has the feature of, when you are making a reply, to send only to the sender, or ALL recipients, so if you select ALL, it will be assured to hit the list. <grin> Steve wrote: > Hi All, > > Thanks for all the replies!
