Though, of note -- I'd have to test as I don't usually use the gmail interface, it's _probable_ that if you hit 'reply' to a user in the gmail-lists interface, that it will reply to the group instead of to the user. There have been different interfaces on google for reading 'email' and those interfaces have changed over time. But at some point, for example, simply hitting reply might go to the group in the google-lists interface, but would go to a single user in the mail (not list) interface. Lists are built on top of the email interface, and different email readers don't always use the same conventions for these things -- often because people want different behaviors in different situations. How a list is displayed, or if it is displayed as a list at all, is determined by your email reader. References are used by email-processing software to allow the display of 'threaded conversations'. Reference headers headers in email are usually hidden because they intended to be read and added by the software -- not by users. Since I don't use gmail as my primary email client, I'm not familiar with all of its configuration options -- but the best thing to do is to look at the help for the software you are using to read & write emails to users and to groups. I find that thunderbird's interface works best for me so I have my gmail address(es) set to forward email to my ISP user address. Then I have thunderbird set to use send emails out to specific addresses and/or use different from-addresses based on where the responded-to email came from. In all of these cases, though they take a while to get used to -- and you have to keep up with changes in your software. I don't know, but I don't think cygwin is hosted as a google group, in which case, at the bottom of each email are directions for help and questions specific to cygwin: Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Good luck! -Linda -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
