When you send a message to the list, it is forwarded to every address on that list (I forget how many we are, now). Everybody with a good address gets the message (that includes you, if your program is set to receive acknowledgment that you sent a message). If there's a "bad" address on the list, you receive an error message about that address; that particular person didn't receive your message. The rest of us did, and that's why we can respond to a message, even if you received an error message about it. Joanne Sandstrom [log in to unmask]
