The two recent message below illustrate a setup problem with the list.

Clicking the Reply button on your email viewer usually replies only to the

original message sender.  If you want to reply to the list you click Reply

All. But the Matronics lists are set up to always reply to the list, even if

you click Reply.  I wish this behavior would be changed to the more common

behavior.

The Matronics Lists are configured that way intentionally.  I have experimented with a standard reply going back to just the sender (traditional email mode), but the problem is that most people don't reply-all back to the List.  Too many threads die out prematurely when the List is configured to reply only to the sender. 



Unfortunately (I guess), you don't need a license to use email...

I think Matt has it right! The default behavior is to the list and it takes a little effort to reply directly to the sender.

Hi Ralph,
	




Every list I've ever subscribed to has replies going to the list by 

default. Think about it; the email came from the list, not the 

individual that originally wrote it. Since the email came from the list, 

'reply' goes back to the list.



Completely different environment from a regular email.
