my protest

[Shunguo Liu]

Hi,

I am using Eudora as well. In case I want my reply goes to the
list, I use "Reply to All" (from menu Item "Message") or just
press the "Reply All" button (or Ctr R if I have map the combo).
Then I would have two addresses in "To: " header: the list and
the original sender's address. I could either delete the original
sender's address knowing he/she is on the list already or keep
both so the original sender may get two copies of my reply.

Hope that helps a bit.
