From: Patent Tactics, George Brock-Nannestad Hello Tom, you wrote: > Same case for Outlook Express (honors the REPLY TO header).

And why fight a mail program? I use Pegasus Mail, and it gives me a menu for answering and boxes to tick. There is no copy and paste. I can tick "From", I can tick "Cc", "Reply to", "Sender" and one more, and I can tick any combination of those. If I click nothing, the reply goes to "Reply to", which is perfectly logical, because that is what the received header says. What you want is for ARSClist to strip the "Reply to" that Roger (just as an example) has written and substitute the ARSCLIST. Because you cannot lay the blame on Roger (and everybody else who may choose to have a particular "Reply to", because they might choose to send from another account. I just need to be awake when I send a mail, and what is the wrong in that? We have had amusing mismailings (including a hidden reference to this year's IAML meeting), but it is the sender's responsibility. I have erred, too, I know! I am much more curious about the comparatively rare instances, where an attachment goes through ARSClist and is received here. That could be a useful feature if it were in general use.
