Fellow E-mailers,

I don't know how sophisticated your mail client is, but here's
how I solved the "reply" problem. When I hit the "Reply"
button, I get a box asking "Reply to sender," "Reply to all,"
and "Include original message." I choose "Reply to sender,"
and, since I like to refer to some of the original message, I
usually "include" when I reply. I make sure that I cut
irrelevant parts out to make my message as small as
possible.

Then, I erase the address in the "TO:" field and replace it
with an alias I've created that has the list's full address
embedded. Simple and I don't send multiple copies this way.
