I have to agree that your success rate (after the fact) these days
is 100%.
I went back and took a look at the format of the APD mail. Everything
is being done correctly by the mailing list software. The 'From:'
line in the header is set to the list owner, but the 'Reply-To:' field
is set to aquatic-plants at actwin_com. The 'Reply-To:' field should
take precedence over the 'From:' field, but apparently some folks'
email software ignores this override.
