Hi Rob,
I am afraid that it is due (the reply problem) to biosci policy. They have
this idea that all their newsgroups should be set up like that (i.e.
follow-ups automatically go to the original sender rather than the group).
I am not really sure why it is so. If you look at the header you'll see
these two lines:
>Comments: List problems/queries to <biosci at dl.ac.uk>
>Comments: To mail both the group and netnews send to
(biofilms at daresbury.ac.uk)
I agree that it is very inconvenient, and I'll try to write biosci to
perhaps convince them to revise their policy.
The second problem (of Pauls), seems more like it must be a local problem.
I don't think the biosci server would paste in new sender addresses.
Perhaps Paul used another computer than usual (eg. via netscape, which
othen is personalized by the individual installing the software).
I will send you a follow-up when I hear from Biosci.
Best regards,
Claus
