I receive the digest, which does not have a reply-to header - so replies 
to that rely on the poster's mail client using the address of the sender 
of the digest.

My guess is that those who do not receive the digest receive something 
that contains a reply-to header that has the list & the original 
poster's address in it.  I say that because sometimes I get replies from 
folks to my posts here & sometimes their reply does not appear on the 
list (but I see what they had tried to post as it was also directly 
addressed to me).  I rather doubt that every single time, every single 
person hits the reply-to-all button.

No HTML to be seen in any of those messages - instead the only 
explanation I can think of is that the censors censored that person's 
post.  The last time that happened was when I pointed out that maybe 
there was abuse of CEPT in contests & I found it amusing that the 
censors stopped a reply by a prolific participant here that seemed to 
indicate he thought the oft-mentioned "boy & his radio" does not need 
any licence or authorization to operate.

If this post is also censored, then everyone I added to the distribution 
will know it happened.  Usually, only the poster knows because like a CQ 
WW entry, it vanishes from the results.  On rare occasions, the censors 
even say something about it to the censored.  Maybe VE5RA & N4XM would 
be so kind & let us know if they thought their missing posts could be 
due to ZL2TZE's suggested reply-to or embedded HTML issues.
