This is interesting.  I've had problems similar to the above, but when 
I looked at the source, as Peter suggested, I could see that it's the 
mailer's fault, not balsa's.  The mailer is a MS product  with this 
output in view source:

X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000
Resent-Message-ID: <"VHosQ2.0.mF7.73Cdy"@kplug.org>
Resent-From: user-list@kplug.org
X-Mailing-List: <user-list@kplug.org> archive/latest/477
X-Loop: user-list@kplug.org

When I hit reply to group, it sends to the X-Mailing-List, which means 
I get an email bouncing from  'archive/latest/477'.  It's annoying to 
have to check for this, but it's not balsa's fault I believe.  Irony 
is, the mailing list is for a LUG :).
