you. Please do not take offense, as none is intended...at least not
until you ignore repeated polite requests :) If you are aware of
everything I say here, and your mailer is merely misbehaving, accept
my apologies in advance.
I've left a lot of stuff in the quoted email below that is not
normal to leave in, but with reason.
For anyone who isn't Simon, I'm sending this to the list for two
reasons:
1) to tell everyone that this is being pointed out to him,
so they don't inundate him with similar requests.
2) Any New List Members, read and make sure you don't make similar
errors. Also be sure to read the FAQ.

Do you see the field above? Normally the list puts in it's address
there, and anyone who replys to your message on the list will send to
the list by default. If your mailer is configured to set this field,
however, it will not let the list write it. This field is 99% of the
time useless. It looks like you are using Microsoft Outlook. I'm
not familiar enough to say where that setting is, but somewhere in
your options you should find a "Reply to" field. Set it blank. It
won't hurt anything, and the list will appreciate it.

Note how everything of yours has a little '>' in front of it? This
is known as quoting, and it tells people that someone other than me
said it. Different programs use different symbols, but the intent is
usually obvious. Please use quoting. Outlook should have an option
for it.

In the above, the text _I_ said (about the honeymoon) and the text
_you_ said (after the "heck") run together and seem to be said by the
same person. Please use quoting.
