[FC] Suggestions time fer KISS mode

[J R Read_HML]

Hey Tim,  Did you send that public or private?  It came the public route.

The "originator" on FC emails is always Corvanatics - no matter WHO the REAL 
originator happens to be.  This is what causes Reply (intended private) to 
go public (like a Reply All).

In Outlook and Outlook Express (comes with Windows and most people use it) 
you have to pick between Reply and Reply All.  FC is set up so that Reply 
gives the SAME RESULT that Reply All gives - it goes Back to Corvanatics for 
broadcast to everyone in the group.  VV is set up (the NORMAL way) so that 
Reply goes only to the individual who sent the mail to the group and Reply 
All goes to the group.

In "normal" mode - the way VV does it, when Reply All is used, the message 
will arrive twice to the intended recipient - one direct and one by way of 
the mail replicator.  That can be avoided if time is taken to remove the 
first sender's address from the To: line, but most everyone forgets (or is 
not aware) to do that.

On FC - if you send what you think is private and a copy ends up in your 
mail box from FC.... guess what...   It was NOT so private as you thought it 
would be.  Everyone subscribed to FC saw it - including you.  The intended 
recipient only saw it one though... at the same time everyone else did!  A 
private message does not bounce back to the sender like that.

Yes, it IS possible to dig the sender's address out of the email by going 
into properties (right click) and digging down below - into details and so 
on - like a couple of levels down and reading through all the trash there to 
find the address.  At that point, it can be copied and then pasted into the 
reply To: line and will become private.  But, it is sort of like changing 
out the O rings on a Corvair every time you want to check the oil.

Folks who are on both VV and FC sometimes forget (me included) that Reply 
will go to everyone.  This can possibly lead to some embarrassing moments 
(and has in the past).
