Or the several other > "private" conversations happening over the list? Personally, I find it extremely easy to switch who the mail is going to. I use pine [simply because that's all that is here]. When the Reply-To: field is present, pine prompts me for if I want to use the "Reply-To:" or the "From:" field when replying. If I want to send it to the originator of the message, I press 'n'. To send it to the list, I press 'y'. Besides which, I doubt those people would have directly mailed the guy anyway. -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
