I've read back through this thread, and forgive me if this has been discussed before, but have you considered giving subscribers the option of deciding for themselves whether their replies should go to the list or to the poster?
In other words, add the option: Where are replies to list messages directed? (*) Poster ( ) This list ... to the subscriber's settings, let the list administrator set the default behavior, and add the option: Allow subscribers to chose where their replies to list messages are directed? (*) Yes ( ) No ... to the list administrator's settings. It seems like whatever the default behavior is set to it always irks 5% of any list's subscribers. This would allow that 5% to fix the problem for themselves, leaving only 2% to continue to grumble that there's really only one correct way to do things and everyone should be doing it that way. -- Earl Ruby http://earlruby.org/ _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
