Actually there is nothing wrong with your mail program (at least in this<BR>
case). The list doesn't add Reply-To-header so your mailer can't<BR>
know that it is supposed to send the message to the whole list as<BR>
a default.</BLOCKQUOTE></FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>

Ah! Really? I'm not surprised, considering I do a lot of goofy computer-related things accidentally. I'm sure I did *something* that made the message be sent to a single user, but it's one of those mysteries never to be solved.<BR>
<BR>
(i.e., it's meaningless to put time into TO solve!)<BR>

interesting even when it was mainly put together from standardized<BR>
duck story parts. The monster was nice.<BR>

Some comic book stories--even mediocre ones--just seem better when put into a serialized format. I don't know why this is, but some writers just seem to be born for the serialized format.<BR>
<BR>
Barks definitely wasn't. Gottfredson definitely was.<BR>

Right. In fact, when I read it, I thought, "you have to be joking." I think Mickey is such a black-and-white (literally!), one-dimensional character that it's difficult to make proper story-lines that make an amusing story. Floyd Gottfredson succeeded with Mickey, but he's really the only Mickey comic-artist that I've ever really appreciated.<BR>

I do like some of the WDC&S serials, though. (By Dick Moores, etc.)<BR>
