Friends,

Just a reminder: b-hebrew is configured in such a way that, if you simply "Reply" to a posting, your answer will go back to the original sender *only*. B-Hebrew will never see it.

If you want your reply to a b-hebrew posting to go back to the list for general distribution, you must either "Reply All" or manually add <b-hebrew AT lists.ibiblio.org> to the addressees.

Different email software handle this situation differently, and I advise you to watch the address headers carefully as you are composing your messages.

[For the technically inclined: the reason for this behavior is that the Internet "Reply-To:" header of b-hebrew postings is set to the return address of the original sender of the posting. Some Internet discussion lists use the discussion list address instead for the Reply-To: header. There is a huge debate in cyberspace about what is the "correct" behavior for this header, which is way off-topic for b-hebrew!] :-)

Blessings,

Kirk

Theorie ist, wenn man alles weiss und nichts klappt.
Praxis ist, wenn alles klappt und keiner weiss warum.
Bei uns sind Theorie und Praxis vereint:
nichts klappt und keiner weiss warum!
