Well I didn't respond to the original question 'cos I don't much care
either way and to me its no problem to edit the 'to' line. 'B' would be
my option if forced to give an answer. However, I do query the reason to
reply to both the sender and the list. Seems more logical to me to have
reply to sender got original poster, and reply to all to go only to the
list, after all the sender is on the list isn't he/she? or should I say
for she/he <g>
