I also get my Tweeters in digest mode. However, my mailer apparently works
differently than Tim's. When I want to reply to a particular message, the default
reply address is to the list since this is the original From: field. However,
I also get a pop-up listbox of every e-mail address in the particular selected
message so it is very easy for me to send to either an individual or to the whole
list or both just by nuking or adding addresses. So, although this change does
not affect my mailing capabilities in any way, I should like to echo Rob's
reply that any change in the free-form intent of Tweeters would be a loss for
the list as a whole.
