I can safely assure all of you that the decision to start the Woodchuck
thread was made in my right mind, at least, that is, as right as a mind
can be at 3:00 in the morning. I had just discovered the mailing list
and joined. After reading the FAQ, I was overtaken with intense
curiosity and posed the fatal question. I hereby formally withdraw the
question and request that any further Woodchuck posts be declared
anathema. I apologize to those who were offended by the question and
accept the *THWAP* with the knowledge that it is well deserved.

P.S. I don't know if the Reply-To field has changed or not. If anyone
can tell me how to fix it in Netscape 3.1, I would be much obliged.

And verily, did Owen Landgren hastily scribble thusly...

Welcome to the club, and a well deserved *thwap* has rarely been so
graciously accepted....

You are now legally obliged to THWAP anyone else who starts the thread of
the damned....

:)

P.S. Yup, just before I hit send I checked to see where I was sending it to
this time. It's still overriding the list.

I'm afraid I have no idea how to change it in Netscape.

(The problem is though, that when there is an e-mail address in the reply to
field, the list sends out the message with that address instead of the lists
address, causing everyone to reply directly to you instead of the list.
Clear the reply-to field, and you clear up the problem....)
