Hi Paul,
Medit-Plants is relatively unusual among Mailing Lists, in that it's own
address does NOT automatically come up when you click on "Reply to:",
but only the address of the origianl poster. There are two ways to fix
this. The simplest is what I have done this time - instead of clicking
"Reply to:", click "Reply All:", this will then address your reply to
the original poster, with a Copy to the List.
Many people, it is obvious, do this, since we find that when people
reply to us from this List, we usually get TWO copies, one sent to us
direct, while a second copy comes via the List.
If you don't wish to burden your correspondent with two copies of your
words of wisdom then the solution is to delete the reply address that
comes up automatically (on clicking "Reply:") and insert the List's
address, which you can do by doing a "Copy and Paste" from the original
post, or inserting the List's address from your Address Book, where you
presumably have it safe and sound.
