[Kenwood] "Reply To:" to where? (Was: new reflector software glitch?)

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 12:23:36 -0600

Enough already!!
When I invented the internet, I intended "Reply to" to go to the original
sender or the person who posted the message. I intended for "Reply to All"
to go to everyone in the "FROM" window, including the Lists".
Now, I'm glad I was able to clear all this up for you.  :-)
