Here we go again :)
I know this thread has been (justly) closed on perl-beginners, and I don't
want to start another one here, but I do want to say that although I *have*
gotten into the habit of using "reply-all" instead of "reply-to", thus
getting my mail out to its intended recipient, I receive multiple copies of
the same post from other people who use "reply-all" and don't take out
everybody's name from the To: field. I have received as many as three
copies of every message in a thread at times. No wonder I download 200+
messages a day from these two lists alone.
If the list must be set to not mess with the reply-to field, could list
members at least make sure that they cut out addresses from the To: field
before sending their mail?
