[Elecraft] How to reply to specific post on the reflector?

[Don Wilhelm]

I use Thunderbird which has a "Reply" (only to sender), a "Reply All" 
(goes both to sender and the list unless edited), and a "Rely to List" 
(goes only to the list and this is one example).

Usually I use "Reply to List" for those responses that are not directed 
at the original poster.
OTOH, if a poster seems to be having a problem that I might help with, I 
use "Reply All" because I perceive that a quick response may be wanted, 
and some receive only the digest form, so they do not have the wait 
until the next digest for an answer.

If a private response is warranted, I choose "Reply".

Note that Yahoo Groups is different - there a "Reply" goes to the group 
only, "Reply All" goes to the group and the sender.
Be aware of which type list you are responding on, and choose accordingly.
