Russ,
There seems to be a problem, but I don't know for sure where.
In general, the foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx list is set up so that a "Reply"
would send your reply back to the list address. At worst, a
"Reply-to-All" would accomplish the same thing, albeit with the original
poster (the one you reply to) getting two copies, one directly addressed
to him/her, one delivered via the list.
Now, in your case, I noticed that sometimes (but not always) your e-mail
client sent the reply back to foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, instead of
the list address foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Those were the ones that didn't
get delivered to the list, of course. I have no idea why this happened,
but I do get a copy when it showed up addressed to
foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
For those of you not interested in the nitty-gritty of e-mail headers
and transport, you can skip this next section.
If you look at the headers of a typical freelists.org e-mail, you can
see that it has, among other things, these headers:
From: "Boulay, Russ" <russ.boulay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: [foxboro] Response to Cassandra never make it....
Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2006 09:20:46 -0500
X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72)
Sender: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Errors-To: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
X-original-sender: russ.boulay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reply-To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Note that the foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx address is used as the
Sender: (used to be called Envelope-from: in some other mailing list
software) and its primary use is to allow other systems to send bounces
to, instead of to the original author (From: header) or the list address
(To: header).
With the included Reply-To: header, the list is explicitly included when
you select "Reply" or "Reply-to-All". The list address should be
included in the addressees list in either case.
After all that, it gets back to I don't know why your mail program
(Outlook of unknown vintage, deciphered from the X-Mailer: header above)
insists on sending the reply back to foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
instead of the right address of foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I also use
Outlook here at work, and I've never experienced this problem.
You may want to pay attention to what's included in the To: line before
sending mail to the foxboro list. Beyond that, I'm stumped. Sorry that I
can't be of much more help than that.

Does anyone else ever experience their responses not making it to the
list.
About 2 out of 5 of my responses to several key email trails never make
it.
I end up sending directly to requestor.
Last week was very bad on getting responses thru.
