Why in God's name would Hotmail threaten to delete your messages?  They 
don't do that as far as I know.   There are plenty of free e-mail addresses 
if they give you any problem and you don't need Hotmail.

To avoid these oops problems, you can learn to always push the "forward" 
button and use the Jewish-music address that you install in the address 
book and.  Click on THE REPLY TO SENDER button when you want to reply only 
to the poster.

Ari can not reformat the addressing system of this list.  This is how all 
Shamash lists work as do all mailing lists whose hosts use the Listproc 
software which is a very hefty percentage of lists.

I don't know Hotmail personally, but this description doesn't sound right. 
  When you hit the "reply to all" button, both the list name and the 
individual sender's name should appear, unless you are on Netscape.

Just for your, my, and everyone's info:  If I hit "Reply" to this message 
it
goes to the list, not to Reyzl (i.e., because she addressed the list;
wouldn't happen if she wrote me personally)--which is the same thing that
happens when I hit "Reply All."

This particular "Oops" was kind of charming, as are the responses, but of
course the solution to this repeated problem, along w/ endless private
messages clogging the list (and on several occasions leading to HotMail's
threatening to delete some of my messages) is a *structural* solution,
re-formating the list so you automatically reply to sender unless you
*choose* to reply to the list.  But our esteemed moderator won't hear of 
it,
I'm afraid.
