sure, list-id should be added by the list server. > I thought it was an unwritte rule: reply to the list, not the list AND > an explicit email adress (unless they ask to) Or have I got this > completly wrong? Unwritten rules aren't rules; I generally do reply-to-all which is the natural way to reply to all people. For most of my mailing lists it means that the named recipients get their message from me, and the mailing list suppresses the message to them as they are already listed in the Cc or To headers -- although some mailing lists don't do that. > Sending a personal reply on a question that might interest more people > on the list is not optmal. For sure, I don't generally do that. Sam
