I'm replying to the list in case anyone else needs to know the answer. The list-processing software is very inflexible about addresses (you probably knew that already). It tends to extract them automatically from the message headers instead of letting you specify them. And every user has an address that's saved along with some other info like personal name, digest settings, etc. The software does come with an option to support alternate addresses (so you can use another address besides your own but still "be you"). Unfortunately, that option's been disabled by the UW administrators as far as I know. It's easiest to just have me make the change. Let me know what you want to do and I'll do it. There is another way involving a password -- which is saved with your personal settings -- but it's clumsy. Besides, I'd have to send you your password. If you want, I'll be happy to do that (because I never want to be accused of security through obscurity) but I regard it as a waste of time. (Obviously, AFAIK there's no "get my password" request; the "change my password" request would have to come from your old address, and the "change my address" request requires the password!) -- Derek If you want to add a Reply-To: header, I think it works like this: - Somewhere buried in the configuration settings is a series of options about which headers you want to use. - When writing a message, move up into the header area and hit Ctrl-R for "rich headers". That adds in all the extra headers you configured. If you want to reply to a certain person other than the default, you have to start writing the reply, move up into the header area, and then edit the "To:" line. See above.
