[mso] Darlene's question about replying and posting

 the only thing I can think of, Darlene, is that when you compose a new
message, your default email address is being used and maybe that is not the
email address that is subscribed to this group?  However, when you reply,
generally your email program uses the email address that the mail was sent
to and that's the one you are subscribed under.

The tip I sent out before for people that use more than one email account
might help you...here it is again:

If you are subscribed to mso under some address other than your default
address, when you don't choose the correct address, your
mail is sent from the default and you receive an email from freelists
telling you that you are posting from an address that is not subscribed.

Here's the easiest way to fix it....go to this page and subscribe again,
using your default email address: //www.freelists.org/webpage/mso

Just enter your default email address and hit the Go button

Within a few minutes, you will receive an email from freelists telling you
that address has been subscribed....immediately go back to the url above
and enter that address again, but in the dropdown, where it says
"Subscribe", choose "Turn vacation mode on" and hit Go again.

Now your default address is also subscribed but it's on "vacation" so you
will not receive mail at that address....HOWEVER, when an address is on
vacation, you can still SEND mail from that address...so, this way you
will only receive the group's mail under the address where you want to
receive it, BUT you can send mail from both that address and your default
address. You can do this with as many addresses as you want.  Currently,
I'm subscribed to this group under three different addresses, but I only
receive my mail under one of them cuz the other two are on
vacation...however, I can reply to posts and send new posts from any of
them.

I don't know why I can respond to this message, but not post one myself.
Can someone help me out here, I have a question of my own?
