I am also a fan of the old way, maybe it's the Luddite in me or the influence of driving an old car like a Magnette.

Paul & Steve - I am with you and sent my vote to Allen. Most of what I reply is for the list, although very little, and if I want to send something privately I can chose to do so very easily. Lets stay as we were and all mail is group sent and you personally have to change the name to send a private mailing. By the way, for me it is harder to remember to change the send to when I want to do a group mailing so I now send a private mailing and then have to go back and resend to the list. Just a small problem when you get to be an old phart and forget somebody changed the way you do business.

I am with Steve on this. If you want a private conversation you can still
have that and those are fine for you to take off line. I am for the Group
reply as I have a big DELETE button on my keyboard and I can use that if I
don't have time or interest in a thread.

My vote is for reply to go to the list. 99% of my replies are for
the list. The conversation is taking place on the list, and I'm
participating in it, like this one! It's looking like I'm in the
minority on this, though. It's not a huge deal for me. As I said, I
just hit "reply all" and delete what I don't want.
I don't really understand why Allen's experiment should have caused
you such problems. I certainly didn't get any "extra" copies. Just
one of each one sent. I forwarded Allen's email to myself as an
experiment. It took maybe 30 seconds to send and then less than 5
seconds to receive back. The "up" direction is typically slower than
the "down" direction on broadband connections like mine. With a
slower connection like dial-up, it will take a lot longer of
course. If that's what you have, you have my sympathies.
Some email programs have the option to not download files greater
than a specified size. Or sometimes you can leave attachments on the
server by default. Then if you really want to see it, you can click
on it and have it download. I'm not sure what Thunderbird has. It
might be worth checking into if this is a common problem for you.
