Well, I guess I'm done with this thread now.
I don't care if he is a newbie, I don't care if he wants to use "Reply to
Sender" inappropriately, I don't care about net etiquette under this
context. I do care than the Windows Mail program operates as designed.
That's why I am reading this newsgroup. Knowing how Windows Mail operates
allows one to choose the tool appropriate to their needs. I'm not here to
question the OP's requirements.
Right now, no one seems to know if Windows Mail is operating as designed, or
if this issue is a bug, or if this issue was simply overlooked by the
programmers, or what. Of course, the original discussion on this issue was
hijacked and torpedoed by the net etiquitte pontificating rant of a few
folks, so it has become pretty much a useless vehicle for discussing Windows
Mail.
