WHOOPS!

sorry. Did not notice there was no replyto field. Just clicked reply and
ran my fingers across the keys.

Hmmm, why do people set up lists this way? I ALWAYS set them up with a
replyto so that a simple click sends to the list, you have to make an
effort to send to a submitter.

A long term goal of mine is to create a python baised simple email list
server with some of the better features I have seen on majordomo,
minorfish, and mailman. For now, simply learning the language is the
task at hand.
