Hi Mike,
Because the message was sent from Ethan through the mailing list, if you hit
reply it will automatically reply to the last sender (pumpkins@mallorn.com).
In Outlook however if you highlight the originator and right click on it and
go to properties you can get the originator's email address from it.
