Sorry, everybody, I've tried to follow this thread, but I fear that some messages at an early stage got lost. (I think I've now found most of them in the archives, but it didn't help a lot!)
I gather it revolves around changing the Reply-to field. Can someone tell me what currently happens to the Reply-to field, what the options under discussion are, and what will happen to the discuss list after the change? Am I right in saying that the Reply-to field is currently replaced with the address of the list? This results in moderated posters not getting a copy of the replies since their email address is removed. An additional complication is that many replies to moderated posts are themselves moderated. Andreas Säger is a case in point. He's a prolific - and extremely informed - contributor, but all his replies are moderated. Any mangling of his posts are going to remove the op, but ensure that Andreas gets a copy of his own solution. Personally, I favour the line taken by the author of the web-page referred to in an early that the RFCs are well thought-out, and one should have a _very_ strong reason for messing with them. If we continue to replace Reply-to with the list address, perhaps the handling of moderated posts could send a message to the op suggesting they follow their thread on Nabble (and explaining why)? This would, of course, piss Andreas and other frequent non-registered posters off no end unless an exceptions list could be created. I think, on the whole, educating our members to use Reply-All instead of Reply-To might be the way to go although this begs the question of how and where the list address would be added, which in itself is a form of mangling. //James -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/moderators/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
