I sent you another reply, but then my mailer burped and I don't know
if it actually went out or not.

I'm aslo sending this one via SRCard incase other list members may
have had similar opinions.

The Reply-To field in your mailer is working just fine. SRCard is
purposely set to have its address as defualt for reply. If someone's
personal address comes through in hat field, they have a setting wrong.

If you wanted to reply to a discussion topic or thread and it only
gave you the author's personal address as a reply-to, no one else
would get to see your response as discussion in an open forum. That
would defeat the purpose of a public mailing list, wouldn't it?

Since SRCard exists primarily for 80% SRTCG discussion (strategies,
rules clarifications, expansions, new card ideas, an avenue to
communicate with FASA, etc.) and 20% as an arena for finding trading
buddies, I prefer to leave the Reply-To field with it's current setting.

A little conscious effort of the part of trades to copy and paste a
personal addy in a reply is all it takes to keep the private trading
bandwidth where it belongs.

Thanx for the suggestion.
