[ARC5] ARC5 List Treachery - Watch Out!

Hi Bill,

What you write is true for digest subscriptions.  It could be no other
way.
But, I subscribe to NO list in digest format.  ALL of my several list
subscriptions are received in the form of individual postings.

There seems to be three major variations to the response of selecting
the
REPLY (to originator) button, for example:

- Postings from the MILSURPLUS list cause ONLY the originator's address
to appear
  in the TO box.  (This is the very best response.)
- Postings from the ARC5 list cause BOTH the address of the originator
AND the
  address of the list to appear in the TO block.  (This is the very
worst response.)
- Postings from yet a different list cause the list address alone to
appear in the
  TO block, regardless of REPLY or REPLY ALL having been selected.
(This isn't a
  a great response either.)

There's nothing that can be done on my end to alter these varied
responses to
postings from a list.

The ARC5 list response changed some time ago, before which it was just
like the
MILSURPLUS list.  May those happy days return!

Hi Mike,

That's discouraging. I looked and I see that most of my subscriptions
are set for digest mode so I have become accustomed to looking at the
addresses and other header info. It just happens that the two lists I
have on "Individual email" behave the way I would expect. I have not
setup a list on qth.net so I don't know what kind of choices the
listowner has to make. I've done it on Yahoo Groups and I know it can be
easy to overlook something. Maybe it will get "fixed".
