I am using KMail=20 at the present time, but that does vary. In any case, see if=20 your MUA has support for mailing lists. If it does, you can=20 configure it to deliver incoming mail sorted into folders based=20 on the list name, or some other criterion if you so desire. It=20 is then possible to configure the MUA to use a set address, or=20 addresses when you reply to mail from that folder. It is usually considered incorrect to directly mail or CC a=20 response to a poster unless they specifically requested it. I presently employ that method, and it works fine for me. Remember, 'Top Posting" is a negative factor. =2D-=20 Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net A: Because it reverses the natural flow of a dialog. Q: Why is top posting undesirable when replying?
