did you check to see if, in your email software, the "Reply Address" is
filled in, as well as the "email address"?

Normally, I leave the reply address blank. The only reason it needs to be
used is if you have multiple accounts and you want replies to go to an
account OTHER than the one you are mailing from. OR if you have multiple
accounts and you want to keep the one you are using annonymous.

I tested this theory by filling in my Reply address section as well as the
email address section in my email software setup. I didn't have to, because
I am using only the one account, but I wanted to see if I was right. With
the field left blank, and after sending a post to the list, when I "replied"
to it it went to the list as it should. However, when I had the Reply
Address filled in, and sent a post to the list, when I tried to reply to
that post it always pulled whatever I had in the Reply Address field of my
software setup. I think that proves it, don't you
