This is good info - I have used a newsreader for years that uses "r" for "reply 
to group" and of course I'm constantly accidentally hitting reply and creating 
emails! Only thing that has saved me is not setting up an outbound mail server 
to avoid sending. Now I can fix that!

Thanks for your excellent reply!
