With different email programs there may be different solutions. What Martin proposes won't work in my email program. Every message I receive has the list address in the To field and in the CC field the email address of the sender. My two choices are reply and reply list. If I hit reply the message goes sender <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> and if I hit reply to the list it goes pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net . I was fooled a couple of times when I hit reply thinking I was replying privately since it has the person's name listed, but after it was <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> so it was instead going to the list. Either choice ends up the same. So what I have to do is to copy the address in the CC heading. Then when I hit reply, I have to delete what is automatically in the To field and paste instead the address I copied from the CC field in the original email in the To field. Then it will go directly to that person. You might want to experiment (without sending) Martin's solution and mine just to see what works for you. Anyone else find a different solution?
