The headers and body of the returned message will have this information. If you shared a complete message we could probably help. But without it there is no way to tell what the problem would be. > When I try to reply the address of the individual who responded to > my question appears as the recipient. Yes, that is correct. Replies go to the author. You want to use the group reply key. From the mutt online help: g group-reply reply to all recipients In the simple case the 'g' key will always do what you want when replying to lists. It will respect Mail-Followup-To: headers. But for most lists you only want to reply to the list address. There is no need to send to the author as well. They will read it when they read the list. When the author has not specified a M-F-T header the list-reply key will send only to the list. This will also respect M-F-T if present. L list-reply reply to specified mailing list In order to use list-reply you need to say that you have subscribed to the list so that it can recognize this. Put this line in your $HOME/.muttrc file and messages from the list will be recognized. subscribe debian-user@lists.debian.org > I change this to debian-user@lists.debian.org, type a message and > tell mutt to send it.

I did this but I think back when my system was potato and > I believe this is what made it possible to reply from mutt. This is probably exactly what I just suggested here. But it sounds like you have other problems. Please share the exact text of the errors you are seeing with us so that we can help. It is certainly possible to reply and group-reply to messages in mutt. So just knowing that they are failing is not sufficient to diagnose a problem. The error messages must be known too. Bob
