Thanks, Mark.

I'd forgotten about the "first_strip_reply_to" option-- and never 
thought about this implication.

I'm just the administrator of the list(s), and don't have direct 
access to the mm_cfg.py file. This is a rare enough occurrence, that 
I'm unlikely to ask the server administrator to make a change.

But I will reset the "first_strip_reply_to" settings. Thanks, again!
