Is there something I can set in the group-params that says "ignore reply-to"? Of course, I've tried to convince these folks time and time again that this means that an *individual* cannot add a "reply-to" to their own message and have it be used. :( But they claim "hey, it makes it easier for people to keep the conversations on the list instead of amongst the individuals". The average IQ of the net is dropping rapidly. At least I didn't say something very embarassing this time. Last time it was much worse, and I raised more hell over it. Still to no avail. (Funny, that group said that nearly everyone that signs on and gets bit then complains... I think they feel it is a rite of passage. :) -- Name: Randal L.
