I agree in general, but it would also be good for Debian's list software to express its policy (via the Mail-Followup-To header, of course, not the Reply-To header). While I think it's reasonable to expect subscribed people to remember not to CC replies (it's a good default, except on lists where people are typically *not* subscribed, like -user help lists), not everyone posting to Debian lists is subscribed: conversations are often cross-posted. Expecting people to investigate the policies of every CC'd list is unreasonable. Just as a thought, I wonder if it's possible for the list software to automatically add an MFT header, if it's missing, indicating that only people not subscribed to the list, or explicitly in the CC list, should be CC'd. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
