Ok, I'll give this another try and see if this reply makes it to the list. As
I've mentioned, the above isn't my problem, as I only have one eddress.

This only happens (automatically, anyway) if you reply _on_ the website, as you
aren't given the option to either delete the message you're replying to, or even
(that I've been able to figure out) to quote only the portion you wish to
respond to (as I'm doing here). Some forum software has this ability, but this
requires a full-featured editor with links to the message database, and not just
a very large text box that can do some HTML markup.

When this happens when someone replies in their own e-mail reader/editor, then
it's appropriate to give a mini lesson on netiquette.

My relocalization group is open to the public. If someone has something they
want to say in private, that's what e-mail is for, either to an individual, or
to a limited distribution list.

In regard to the suggestion from Andre' to set the default "reply-to" field, this will only be effective for those whose mail editors are also set to use the reply-to field. Most decent mail editors allow the user to select the default handling of this option. Mine is set to reply to the "from" field, which will most often send it to the list it came from, and not the poster, although every time I reply I get a pop-up dialog box allowing me to change the default setting. My number one suggestion to people who use e-mail alot is to get a decent mail editor, like Pegasus, instead of that semi brain-dead MS Lookout that assumes Microsoft knows better than the entire Internet community how to handle e-mail.

P.S. Well, it's been over an hour now since I sent this reply by e-mail, and it still hasn't showed up in the forum, so I'm manually pasting my reply and entering this bit after logging into the website. For the techies, here's the log entry from my mail server, so I know it was accepted without errors on your end:
20080411170429-0700:SMTP-Deliver:20080412000126471.AAB126@lazarus.reststop.net:Delivered:2859:ns2.greenseek.net::

Good luck with this, and thanks so much for all the good work and effort all of you put in to making this system available to us.
