Thanks for the reply.

I have just checked out my original post and I see nothing about me
replying to another post.  Nothing.  I know that I found an old post,
hit reply all, deleted the text of the email, changed the subject
header and just had the evolution list address in the 'to' line after
removing whoever posted the email I was using.  How it ended up being a
reply to another thread I have no idea.  And this is, obviously, not
something that one would do intentionally.  

I won't labour this point, but I do not have filters set up, either
locally or on a server.  There is a simpler solution to this.  I will
work it out myself as your solutions are unnecessarily involved where I
can assure you that there is a simple way to do this. 

I have this setup on three pcs in this way.  I'll look a bit deeper as
to what I did.
