Lists can be constructed so that a click on Reply will just send to the
Originator.  If I am not mistaken MetaStocks was this way in the past.
However, since this is not available I recommend the attachment of a
Signature automatically to every EMail.  I doubt that Spam is really that
much of a problem and all that is needed for response to the Sender is a
click or two depending on your Browser.  Otherwise the Sender must be added
to your Address Book first and this requires several Clicks and then a
deletion from the Book if unwanted permanently.

While in this vein of thought, I would also suggest everyone use the feature
that makes a check of spelling automatically prior to sending the message.
I am sure they are typos as most on the List are better spellers than it
would appear.  It would make reading the messages a lot easier.
