Ah, but the messages from the list do *not* have a Reply-To header. The list has performed a simple redirect. If you didn't want somebody to reply to you directly then you could have added a Reply-To header as I have done.

I object. If you reply to something I write and really want me to see it then send it to me as well. Messages sent direct and not thru the list are sorted differently here for exactly that purpose. I pay a bit more attention to those sent direct than those thru a list. If you want to sent to the group then use your Reply To All function. If you don't want to send to the original sender then delete him/her from the address list before invoking send. Not in the current mail client I'm using at the moment but in mutt one can "reply" and is queried with the first address "[y]/n?". If one answers "no" then mutt offers the next address it finds. So a simple reply can easily be sent to any of the addresses in the headers. The list, or the original sender. If the list addresses were mangled as you suggest then even a Reply To All would fail to find the original sender. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@... ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Not here. How is it supposed to "save typing?" I hit "reply to all" in my mail client and this message is addressed to both Miata Myk and the KLR650 list. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@... ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

I had a '88 KLR that I rode for 6 years...I loved it.Then I bought my Ducati, sold the KLR...But I bought a KLR for my wife last year ('93) and I think I'm going to get another soon. For now, she needs a taller windscreen (Rifle, Clearview, Kaw.; wich is the best?)and Highway Pegs. I saw interesting ones on KLRDSN three years ago but I can't find'em anymore. Give me an adress. Moose bash plate? Same thing for hard luggage, wich is the best? Send me pictures and adresses if you can. We need good advices! I can show you some things about Ducatis or a french lesson for exchange!
