For those using Netscape (Yeah I know) try clicking on the author of
this mail. What you *should* have got is a dialog box with "Andrew
Meredith" in the top box and meredith@mot.com in the email box.

For those who can't do this, the result is that despite clicking on my
header, the ukcrypto address gets filled in. This is indicative of the
expected/correct usage for the reply-to header. It is supposed to be the
correct address of the author, as Chip's web page quite rightly stated.

FWIW I agree with Adam.

PS If there are any .sig haters around. Please take the following in
   the spirit of presenting a business card. This is my first posting
   to this list, and so I felt I should introduce myself. I will be
   clipping it off any further posts.
