Okay, I've just verified that the Reply-To Field is set in the e-mail client as Katherine noted.

When I came to the list, I was set up the same way John is; when people would reply to me, it would go to me instead of the list, and finally someone asked why I had it set up that way. I was bewildered; I didn't think I'd set up anything to make that happen. Some kind soul finally told me how to find the place where the "reply- to" had been set to my address, and to clear my address out of that field. Once that field was empty in my mail preferences, if anyone replied to a post I sent to the list, the replies would automatically go to the list instead of to me. So I'm assuming there must be something similar in Outlook Express. And yes, this post is coming to the list because I manually changed John's address to the list address in the header of my mail. And as far as I can remember, John's has always been this way.
