As requested by some list members, I have altered the list so that if you
click on reply, you automatically reply to the sender instead of all the
list. However, please remember that one of the purpose of the list is that
the maximum number of people benefit from various topics. So, please, don't
forget to cut and paste the archaeobotany list address to send your reply
when you think that your response is of interest to all the list.
Many thanks,
Dominique
