I'm not sure what to do with this. I decided to remove you from the To field. I hope that's correct.Good mailers have different reply modes. "reply" use only From, "wide reply" use also Cc and adresses from To (I think you used this one), and "reply to list" which is the good one to use. If you don't have it and don't want to change your mailer, manually remove adresses from To is the right option.

Users need to check to what or to whom, messages are addressed, before sending messages.
Otherwise, the sender of a message, may facilitate a security breach on the sender's computer (and LAN), and, may facilitate the dissemination of information or comments, that go to the unintended people, causing significant problems.
Communications are powerful, and, should be used responsibly.When a person drives a motor vehicle, the person usually checks where the person is going, before departing.
The same should be done for sending email and other communications. .. Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) ..............
