Yes, delete the word 'you' and manually type in the author's name. (or
cut & paste it from their .sig if it's there).

Or here's one trick that I know works on Eudora Pro, though I'm not
sure that it'll work on Eudora Light: choose the "Reply to All" option
instead of the normal "Reply" then delete out all the addresses except
for the listserver.

I'll go you one better. When you have multiple redundant addresses in the
To: line, Eudora Pro automatically eliminates them on Send. That means if
you Reply to All and get the list addy in the header twice, you can ignore
it because EP will only send the message once.

There's a proper fix for that in Eudora. In eudora.ini, somewhere under the
[Settings] header, place:

Or, use Pegasus Mail. It correctly uses the name in the From field
when sending replies.
