Re: messages

Thank you for this information. I have never understood that I had to mark my messages "reply all".

Most plant lists are set up so that replies go to the list, and there can be many messages about a topic. However, Medit-Plants is set up so that replies go only to the person who posts a message. In order for replies to be sent to the whole list, the person replying must 'reply-all' rather than 'reply'. I am sure that many people don't do that.
It means that the list doesn't include personal messages sent in error, or a lot of 'thanks' and 'me too' replies, but it can also mean that answers that would be of interest to many of us go only to one person.
