[Kenwood] "Reply To:" to where? (Was: new reflector software glitch?)

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 12:41:30 -0600

Well - last night I received an email from Gary Harmon that was sent along
with another email I had sent concerning the DG-5.  I replied to him and for
some reason, it went to the list.  It did have some off-list topic that I am
sure no one really enjoyed reading, which I apologize for.  However, I had
not ever suspected that an email that came from another list member would
return to anyone other than that person.  I don 't think many people would.
I noticed that it was addressed wrong just as it went out, but it was too
late.
I agree that it is not too much to cut and paste an address in the To: box,
so my vote would be to make the default to no address and let the sender
address it himself.  I do not think making the whole list privy to your
dealings is that good of an idea.
Thank You,
