[nabs-l] Important: Replying to posts on list

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Cindy and All,

I too have noticed that messages will sometimes be sent to an individual
when I thought they were being sent to the email list. However, I have not
been able to figure out any kind of pattern in which this occurs. I use the
same reply command when replying to messages. Sometimes the address to the
email list is listed in the address field, and sometimes it is not. I have
tried to be more disciplined in checking the address field to make sure the
address to the email list appears there since noticing this problem a couple
of months ago. I would suggest others doing this as well.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Ok, cool, glad to hear about the variations. I've just seen a couple of
recent instances where people intended to reply to the list but replied to
an individual so I thought it might be worth people checking their clients
to see how they reply.
