I am a lurker. In fact I don't think I have ever posted to this list. I am here because I want, someday, to create a simple list or two for family and colleagues working a design problem. I have learned a lot.
But, with regard to the original problem, it's not so easy to post to just THIS list.
Edited headers for the message to which I am replying are:
>Return-Path: <chuqui@plaidworks.com>

Note that, even for a human reader, it's not so easy to find the list address for a reply. Eudora picks the Return Path header or, with the option key, every e-mail address anywhere even if it results in duplicate mailings. It doesn't know how to pick out just the list address. There is no Reply To: header which would be used if it were present.
I do some programming and I haven't the foggiest idea how I would write code to pick out the list address by itself. Comparing the domain in the Sender: header with all possible addresses - maybe. Note the line end after the first address in the Cc: header. I use an AppleScript to select the reply address and it misses the second two Cc addresses because it stops on a line end. Actually I think the list software may have incorrectly word wrapped the original. The <x-flowed> option specified by the writer is not honored and the text does not wrap to window size as I see it.
Yes. I am familiar with all the verbiage about munging Reply To: headers by list software, but if there is no Reply To: in the submission does it not make sense for the list software to add one pointing to the list itself? That way contributors who add a Reply To: header would get direct copies and others would not.
