But, if I understand it correctly, what the OP wants is others to mail him too, so he receives replies without being subscribed. Having a mail client with those abilities is of no use for him, nor for anyone unless they know what the person they're replying to desires. (But now I wonder how to know if a person replied by a reply we're replying wants to be CCed...) Or is Nicolas looking to reply to everyone when he writes? That would be bad, as there are people who prefer to receive messages through the list or using NNTP. -- Nuno J. Silva gopher://sdf-eu.org/1/users/njsg
