Hi Alex, On this email to you, after reading your email, I pressed Enter then on the option list I went down to Reply to all recipients of this email, it then has the previous email on it, so the forum can read the story, so far, which will appear below the email that I want to start typing but how many copies does each member of the forum get on that occasion? I understand that we can delete these quite easily but I have noticed that members saying they receive an email that has no previous up to date email telling them what the original email was about, so I'd thought my extlanation may help. My apologies for repeating the word "email" mor times than usual !! TTFN Sally -----Original Message----- From: A.

Hello All, If you use the Reply To All Recipients option, the sender of the e-mail that you are replying to will receive two copies of your e-mail, one through their personnel e-mail address and the second through the list address. This is no hardship as one can be deleted and it does ensure that everyone gets the message. I use the Reply To option but then use option #2 and select the list address from my Address Book but this is my preference as sometimes the e-mail address in the original e-mail is screwed up and the reply bounces. Each method should work unless you wish to reply to the sender themselves and not to the list. I hope that this helps others to receive all the posts to the various lists that they are on. Cheers. Alex
