"This" being the idea that gmail has no way to detect that this is a mailing list. There are a number of headers in each message that show that this a mailing list and that the address is debian-user@lists.debian.org: X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/500826 X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org List-Id: <debian-user.lists.debian.org> List-Post: <mailto:debian-user@lists.debian.org> List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Precedence: list Based on this gmail could add a "reply to list button", and if there was a situation that required CCing, you could still use "reply to all". A number of the better MUAs work like this. Cheers, Kelly -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
