I'm with John on this. I wouldn't want to see it changed. The vast majority of my comments upon a Strathspey commentary are destined for the list. If I occasionally want to respond only to the sender personally, then I make a point of doing that. Occasionally though the "reply to:" (Strathspey default) is missing entirely on a message arriving from the Strathspey, and quite ironically on John's own message of all things: Subj: Re: Reply to:" setting on Strathspey Date: 03/12/2006 6:05:26 AM Pacific Standard Time From: xx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx To: xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx Sent from the Internet (Details) I've mentioned this before and still wonder why it occasionally occurs. The reply default on John's own message was a personal default, and I've had to manually add the Strathspey e-mail address!!! Robb Quint Thousand Oaks, CA, USA
