David, Very, and it usually ends in a flame war. :-( > I noticed that, while Sourceforge does this as a matter of course, > Yahoo! does not.... SF isn't the one responsible for this behavior. Mailman defaults this way, and SF is following the Mailman recommended setting. The Mailman Cabal follow RFC's when possible. Munging email header fields isn't recommended for a variety of reasons. Does Yahoo implement list headers? http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2369.txt The preferred solution is mail user agent (MUA) support for reply-to-list. I note you're using Thunderbird. Unfortunately, that MUA doesn't support reply-to-list at this time. Note: there is a mailman patch from Marc Merlin that makes list reply to munging user configurable. I'm not sure if it made it into the 2.1.x releases. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2002-March/011104.html > For whoever cares about such things...
