Interesting - these are NOT quite the same headers I get on a NewtonTalk
message -- I don't get TWO "reply-to" lines. Of course, that may depend
on how I replied (to "all" versus to "sender", maybe?) I don't think I
replied to "all" though (I usually don't, even when prompted, at least
when replying to Newtontalk msgs).

I've never noticed this in years of using NewtonTalk, until just
recently. Interesting.

There seem to be plenty of things to choose from when deciding on the
reply address...the list daemon could be generating problematic headers,
too. I recall that during the beta test of a version of Claris Emailer I
was involved in, the mail formatting and header items gave the programmer
some serious headache and non-standard problems he had to work around.

I have done so; Claris Emailer does have the option (mine was set to
reply to sender only, not to all recpients, but I'd usually get prompted,
I think, if there was more than one person, or the "From" and "reply-to"
were different.) We'll see if this helps. Thanks.
