private email - HOW TO
Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2002 12:57 am
It is becoming clear that people may not understand or may have some
technical difficulty related to sending a REPLY to a Minutus post- by
PRIVATE email; only to the individual to whom that reply should be sent.

attribute known as "REPLY TO" set to the list's address, meaning of course,
that when you simply use "REPLY" button/function on your email client, the
email goes not to the SENDER/author of the post, but to the LIST.
You must be aware of this, and willing to pay attention and take an extra
second to properly address your response when you are sending something that
is intended (or is only suitable) for the SENDER.

"Private" email, only to Mary-anne, I would have needed to find her address
in the "header"
