"never" and "nobody" will be treated as synonymous, as will "always" and "poster". If the User edits the reply-to list, then one could argue that it is the wish of the replier to ignore the wishes of the poster. One could also argue that the intent of the original poster should be heeded but I know that if I prune a reply-to list and my mail agent chose to send the message to someone(s) I did not explicitly bless, I would be mightily pissed. Would anyone care to make a case for adding custom variable support to tailor the behavior further? I'm inclined not to do so if only to keep the feature simple. Other comments? -pmr
