If you like the reply-to set to the list, then I suggest that you set up your MUA so that it does sets the headers appropriately. I don't post to the list all that much anymore, but when I do it is still fairly common for someone to intentionally send me a private thank you or other message that wouldn't be useful to the entire list. I also ocassionally get private followups that should have gone to the list, but I woould guess that I get more of the former. So I would like to keep the list the way it is, though I am resigned to probably losing this one. Another area that this list has been drifting on is posting style. I would like to encourage people to please bottom post and trim posts. I know that long term this is a losing battle, but I hope that this list can hang on for a few more years ;). PS - Both the MUA wrote this message in (mutt) and the MUA I am posting from (SquirrelMail) have deal correctly with Post List. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |
