Unfortunately I don't know the answer for the problem you (and others, 
as well or what?) are experiencing, but please let me know, if you
get it working. I actually haven't even thought about putting special 
characters (if we don't numbers as special characters) in passwords... 
Hmmmm, might be a good idea, thanks. :-)

What comes to replying to the list, my MUA (Mutt, as you probably
can see from the header lines) has a feature called list_reply.
First, you define the mailing lists and their addresses to 
~/.muttrc (or a file to be "sourced"). Then, when you are reading
mail and you decide to reply to mail, that Mutt identifies coming
from mailing list defined earlier, Mutt uses the list's address 
instead of author's personal e-mail address. 

But... you are using Outlook, so I really don't know if it has such
a feature. Sorry for this quite pointless message, but sometimes 
you just want to write. Happens mostly at night. Ah well, now it's
time for bed. Try searching around Outlook, and see if it's possible
to define if a posting is from a mailing list, if it comes from a
certain address. If it is, command similar to Mutt's list_reply 
should be possible. This is only guessing, so I really don't know.
Just decided to pick up the subject, how great MUA Mutt is. :-)
No wars, tho. O:-)
