[NAGDU] SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE

[David Andrews]

In terms of replying to an individual -- it in part depends on your 
mail program.

We had to make a change in the list configuration a few years back. 
This was because of new mail policies from various major Internet 
Service Providers. To not make the change would have made it 
impossible to deliver mail to many providers.

A consequence of this is that when you reply to a message, it can be 
more difficult determining where it is going. Normally a reply, 
control-r with most programs goes to the list, and reply-all 
control-shift-r with many programs, goes to the list and the 
originator. Not all programs are the same.

If you want to send to the individual alone, it usually works to do a 
reply-all then edit the to: and CC fields. You will generally find 
the individual address in one of them, and edit out the rest.

We are sorry for this inconvenience, but have no choice.
