[AT] OT confused by new list format.

Hi,

Is it just me or are their others that are confused to some degree by the 
way messages come in on Spencer's new list format?   No disrespect intended 
Spencer.  I appreciate your efforts.

Here is my problem.  If a message initiates on the list and then someone 
sends a reply directly to me, I can't look at the Subject line and tell that 
it is off list unless the sender says so in the subject line.   Even then if 
they say "off list" at the end of the subject line  it doesn't show up in a 
partial page window.

I've been real busy for most of this year and I'm always in a hurry when I 
do my e-mail.  Sometimes (most times lately) I forget to look in the "to" 
line when I hit reply to see where it is going.  This causes some confusion 
and embarassement but other than that is not a big problem.  It did result 
in my sending a message with a taboo content to the list a few days ago. 
Luckily for me you guys were gracious enough to ignore it.

Spencer is there an easy way for you to address this?  I don't want you to 
go out of your way.  You do enough as it is.  I'll get used to it 
eventually.  Until then if all of you would please ignore my errors I'd 
appreciate it.

Charlie
