Please note the reply-to field above from the message that I just received from 
you. This indicates that a reply should go to mednet@physio1.utmem.edu, however,
what I have discovered as a result of your note is that this all depends on the 
mailer being used.  If I use UNIX mail or VMS mail it wants to send the reply to
rberman@planetree1.utmem.edu, but if I use POPmail or the UNIX mh mail handeler 
the reply goes to mednet.  This I do not understand.  Therefore I am CCing this 
message to majordomo-users@greatcircle.com (the people who wrote majordomo).  
Maybe they can give us some ideas??  The reply-to in the mednet.config is 
mednet@physio1.utmem.edu.. I changed this a couple of days ago.  It is obvious 
that for some reason certain mail utilities use the From: rather than the 
Reply-to: field.  This maybe something you can configure at the user level.. I 
will check.

Thanks for clueing me into this glich or misconfiguration??

Larry
