[Herefordshire] My details

[Noel McG.]

Hello,

You send you replies to the mailing list [forum] and that goes out to all
members.  That way you are more likely to get replies.  If you just reply
direct [off list] to just one person you cut everyone else out.

The subject, if left as is, will as you say, link you into the thread that
is being discussed.

Regards,

Noel.
