About a technical list issue

When I receive mail, I open a window to my mailbox. It lists the subject= , the From, and the size. What I'm griping about it the "from" field. I'm wondering if anyone else= has noticed, or is it just me. Two possible things can occur in the from field. The first is the appearance of the list's name Euphoria Programming... If I click reply, = my reply is sent to the list. Second, there could be an individual's name there. Now, the mail went through the list, but his name is overriding. So, when I clicked reply a= nd wrote back, meaning to write back to the list, I write back only to that person. This has happened a few times. Can someone please tell me it is just me or is there a mailer setting tho= se people can adjust so this doesn't happen? If there is, I kindly ask that= you adjust your mailer so that when you send mail to the list, the "From"= field actually reflects that. No, its not the from field. The "from" field in the header (once I open the message) is always the name of the person. Its the "Reply-To" that's= causing me grief. I hate to single people out, but to help people see if= there's problem, these three people have their mailers do what I'm talkin= g about. Terry Constant Monty King Daniel Bernstein Bob may have this also. Thanks for anyone's help and advice. --Alan =
