   I'm not sure exactly what was happening. I looked
 at the line this time and it included your address as
 well as cctalk 
Yup, 'cuz I added a Reply-To: of my own, and then the list added the
"cctalk" address.

  The other time I didn't look at the reply line
 so I'm not sure why it posted double but I suspect
 that it had cctalk twice. 
Um, I'm not sure which message you're referring to.  But the Reply-To:
in the message you just posted (the one that this is a followup to) is:
    Reply-To: "Dwight K. Elvey" &lt;dwight.elvey(a)amd.com&gt;om>,
    "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts"
        &lt;cctalk(a)classiccmp.org&gt;
Your mailer is probably creating an initial Reply-to: like this:
    Reply-To: "Dwight K. Elvey" &lt;dwight.elvey(a)amd.com&gt;
and then the list software is adding the "cctalk" part.  I think that's
wrong, it should *replace* the original with the "cctalk".  That's what
used to happen.  It's not a big deal for me though; I didn't mean to
make a big fuss about it, I just noticed and wondered why.
