I use MS Outlook, and the only return address I ever see is the piclist itself. Is this a case of the original poster forgetting to include his/her email address, or is there some other way for me to get it? BTW, Rock, I would like to have the information.

The PICLIST L-Soft mail processor inserts a Reply-To: which overrides the From: address when your mailer replies. In Outlook, the only way I know to "easily" do this is to (a) open the message you want to reply to (it isn't enough to "preview" in the main Outlook window) (b) Select the text in the From field (even though it doesn't appear to be selectable text, it is, and it will select the address you want, not the text name as shown) (c) Right-click copy, Cntl-C or Edit... Copy to get the address into the clipboard, (d) Click the Reply button (e) select the piclist address in the To: field -- the whole thing should select on a single click, (f) Right-click paste, Cntl-V or Edit... Paste. At that point, you should have a reply to the original poster, not the PICLIST. This is why I always set my Reply-To: to myself; I occasionally get messages intended for the list, but I think it's better than having private replies go to the list. One can always reply to the list from my messages by doing a reply-to-all or group reply. --Bob -- ============================================================ Bob Drzyzgula It's not a problem .....bobKILLspam.....drzyzgula.org until something bad happens ============================================================ http://www.drzyzgula.org/bob/electronics/ ============================================================

Double click to open the message in its own window, right click on the email address after "on behalf of" in the from field, and select "copy" then hit reply and right click in the to field and hit paste. People will tell you to use "Reply to all" rather than "Reply" but that don't work for me with piclist messages.

There probably is. Play with some settings, if you can find any. If not, you just have to decide - do you want everything to look pretty, or do you want to get some work done? I know this "M$ software" theme is getting pretty well-worn, but when you really get down to the nitty-gritty, that's just how it is! -- Cheers, Paul B.
