testing reply to

[Roger Oberholtzer]

YIPES!

Just look at the source of the mail. The REPLY field is set by the
sender. Plain and simple. I have my e-mail program show me the Reply-To
field and I see two different styles on this list. Some of you folk have
your name along with the list in the Reply-To field, and some do not. My
e-mail reader is not playing favorites. It is the sender's e-mail
program that decides this. I guess I 'could' have an e-mail reader that
lets my 'Reply' messages go to the person in the Reply field as well as
in the From field. But, this behavior would be consistent in any
specific (mine, at least) mail program. 

It is the sender that is creating the situation we are discussing. Plain
and simple.
