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.
