Reply to Newsgroup is for replying to a Usenet newsgroup post.  Paddlewise 
is a mailing list, so all of your messages come and go as mail messages.

You're right--that would happen!

>Is there something I can do to make

Nope--unless you're a computer geek who can decompile C++ and then recompile 
it with different settings for the button.  (I'm not geeky enough to know 
how, but geeky enough to know it could be done.)

I too find that I have to be careful what address shows up in the To: box--I 
have sent private emails that I intend to post to the mailing list, and I 
see after your message that the reverse is possible too.
