I see that your message came to me from the type3 list carrying the following header: >Date forwarded: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 11:34:52 -0500 >Date sent: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 08:18:12 -0800 >To: type3@vwtype3.org >From: Cary <RZsUnlimited@bikerider.com> >Subject: [T3] Question on list mechanics. >Forwarded by: type3@vwtype3.org Thus this message was FROM: Cary, and FORWARDED BY: our list. Your email program just looks for the FROM: part of the header and uses that as the default address. In my opinion, our list has done this properly. There's a lot of differences in email programs. Some are much easier to handle and much more versatile than others. I use and recommend Pegasus Mail which is a free program from New Zealand, available in the US from www.pegasus.usa.com. With Pegasus, it is easy to direct my replies to the correct address.
