This is PURELY a function of your email client. All the information for a reply-to-all is in the email header. Pine is the client I use. It does a reply-to-all without a problem. I don't have to cut and paste. The default is to reply just to the list, per the reply-to tag. You should probably be able to override this with your email client preferences, with some switch say always-reply-to-from-field or something.

If you have to cut-and-paste manually, it seems it's a major limitation of your mail client. Received on Thu Jun 29 2000 - 14:14:10 CDT
