newbie needs help correcting distorted map

[Ed McNierney]

Mike -

As far as mail servers go, some do and some don't - you may have experience with 500 lists, but with one mailer, which presumably handled them all the same way.  I don't expect consistency from the lists I'm on (and I'm not disappointed) so I just keep an eye out for what's happening.  Setting the reply-to to be the group makes it hard to reply to only one person (which is, nonetheless, sometimes appropriate) whereas requiring "reply to all" makes it easier to go either way - but at the cost of making the user pay a bit more attention!
