Some lists (like this one) are set up to Reply to List and others are set up to Reply to Sender. There's always been lots of debate amongst Listowners as to which way is best and each Listowner has the option of deciding how to have their List work. Personally I think Reply to List is best because it helps to keep a List active. To send a message to someone privately, off-List, just copy the email address from the posting to the List and paste it into your email "To" area. ===== Kathi Jones-Hudson MD Tombstone Transcription Project Manager http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/maryland.html __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
