Joan, Thanks for the information! Very helpful! My response to this message raises another one. I notice that both "Respond" and "Respond to All" sends the message to only the list, not the person sending the message. Is anything changing in the way this works? This could have a huge impact on message traffic and educating subscribers.

I notice that both "Respond" and "Respond to All" sends the message to only the list, not the person sending the message. Is anything changing in the way this works? This could have a huge impact on message traffic and educating subscribers. Steve ------------------- Steve; As I currently understand it, when the lists migrate the default setting will be replies go to list. I think you can go into your new tools page and change it to reply to poster, or something like that. :-) Rick B
