I'm not understanding the solution here, Rainer. It's not like I configured my emaill program (Outlook Express) so that when people reply, it goes to my rather than the group. Are you saying that each time I send a message to the group, I need to replace my email address in the "from" box and manually enter the LD address? That is not possible in my program. I have TO, CC, and BCC. The FROM box does not allow me to change who it is from...it is always me, and this is set in the email program configuration. So, out of curiousity, how many people, when replying to this message, see my email in the TO box rather than the LD address? As I said before, about 30% of all the LD message I reply to try to go to the senders email address rather than the LD address, so whatever program these folks are using must be doing the same thing as mine. Or is this the recipients' email programs that are the cuprit?
