The actual process depends on what mail client you're using.  When I need
replies to my email to go to a different address -- for example,
suites at genericworldcon.org, I go to 'options' and click on 'sending
mail'.  Since Keith has said that he's set things so that all mail from
anything with ekovar in it is accepted, I've temporarily set mine on this
one to ekovar at wsfa.org.  (No, Keith, I don't need that address,
thanks!)  The trick is to remember to change it back afterwards.

Let's see how this shows up . . .
