It's not good to put lists like this one in a BCC field, if that's what
you're saying because then it won't work with mail filters if any are set
up. Since I switched to outlook form outlook express I can't get them to
work in outlook anyway but if I could and I know many do have their lists
setup with their own folders, putting the list in the BCC field overrides
that filter setting.

Hi Steve:
It's not the "to" field I'm worried about, it's the "from" field. The "to"
field here, for example, indicates: "for blind ham radio operators". From
the edit screen (where I'm typing now), if I shift tab five times, I'll get
to a combo box listing my email accounts. The one indicated is my
[log in to unmask] account, but I could arrow to another account, though that
would make this message undeliverable since it would then be coming from an
unsubscribed address.
My point, though is that I don't see any way of suppressing the
[log in to unmask] address from any message I would post to this list in cases
where I'm replying to a list message.
Next up, let's see if I can suppress it when I initiate a message.
