- I think your confusion is due to the fact that LISTSERV, the software that
- runs most BITnet discussion lists allows for various options when it generates
- a Reply-To: header. As I recall the options for each list are to point to the
- list, point to the submitter or to respect any Reply-to: header in the
- submitter's mail.
-
- I agree it would be useful for elm to allow you to override the Reply-to:
- header without retyping the address, but..........
