RE: We'll try this for awhile...

If it works!

This email was sent as a 'Reply To' from Windows Messaging.

Some of the time it seems my mail reader will reply to the sender. Most of
the time it replies to the list.
Since this is inconsistent, it will create more havoc -- like playing
russian roulette. 

Who else is having the same experience?

It is better to leave it set so it is consistent. 
Emailers should be more persistent in checking mail before they send it. It
only takes a second. Read the header info to extract the email addy of the
author if you feel a private reply is necessary. 

'Private' replies defeats the purpose of a forum.
