Ahhh, I give!  I was incorrect about the 'reply' versus
'reply to all' buttons (for this list :).  Sometimes when
the fingers go on auto-pilot they decide to play tricks
on the rest of the body and purposely type something
the subconscious knows is wrong (but the conscious refuses
to accept!)  It's not the mailer that is broken, it
was the USER!!!

Sheepishly,
Michael
