It's not my mailer which prefers private-replies, it's the 
list-software choking on some mailer-formats, something which is 
clearly a bug within the list-software....but a bug that *can* easily 
be spotted & corrected when replying with Pegasus/WinPmail 
itself....it only requires checking a different option-box in the 
reply-menu-screen (with a choice from 
From:/To:/Sender:/CC:/Reply-To:).
But, Steven Morton and I are working on a solution for this bug (and 
some other list problems, like spam and unsubscribes).
