I am fully in sympathy with M.J.Ray. The mangled reply settings create an
extra level of complication and risk for a dubious payoff. But as Troika
member i dont have the choice of leaving the list.

Please note that Radstats is currently set to 'reply-to-list', not reply-to-sender..
That means if you press the 'reply' button on your mailer your message will go to
all members of the list. If you want to reply to the author of a message on
the list you will have to delete the list address and substitute the address of
the author.
The setting is a matter of some controversy and is under review. The setting may
well be changed to 'reply-to-sender' that is more logical, but may be less
convivial.
