Every other mailing list I am subscribed to causes Reply to go back to the list. The Reply-To: header is completely standard and it is not a horrible abuse to use it. The other alternative is for emails to be From: the list. I'm on various mailing lists, some insert Reply-To: and some change From:. This is the expected behaviour with mailing lists.
We keep getting replies to individuals not the list, so clearly a number of people on the list have a problem with the way it behaves. On this list Reply to All sends it To: the sender, and CC: the list. That is also wrong, CC: is for your information and To: the original sender implies I am expecting them to answer. As to mail clients, I deal with most email on my iPad so I don't get a choice of mail clients. As to not putting the reply in the right place. It's a lot of work on iPad to even trim out the parts of the original email that aren't relevant, but I do it. Moving it all around to suit this list's preferred format is more effort on the iPad than it is worth, Apple make it immensely difficult to reply inline. -- Owen Smith <owen.sm...@cantab.net> Cambridge, UK On 1 Oct 2014, at 10:55, Nick <get_ipla...@i.lucanops.net> wrote: > It actually looks like a mail client thing.
