Thanks for the informative response, I'll look into this. I wasn't aware 
any compression advantages don't extend beyond 2 channels.

Please consider switching to a mail client that respects the 
Mail-Followup-To header; I had this header set to the list address because 
I prefer to pick up my responses on the list. I don't want another copy 
sent to me as well. There are some free software mail readers that will 
respect the Mail-Followup-To header like Mozilla Thunderbird.

Thanks again for your help.
