I thought that the reply to author command didn't work for sending mail to
an individual, who had sent a message to a list, because of the way the
lists are set up.  Maybe I've got this wrong, but I'm using Outlook Express,
and before that I used Internet Mail in Explorer 3.02, and both these mail
programs  also sent reply to author messages to the list as well as to the
person who had originated them.  Maybe it has to do with the way the headers
are written.  We might have to trim the headers in order to send a private
message to somebody if our message was occasioned by a message from that
person that we got from a list.  That being the case, however , it's
probably just as simple to write a new subject line for a different message
to the person.  Knowledgeable people on the list can shed light on this, but
it's a vexing problem.
