As many have pointed out, the arguments on both sides of the mailing list ReplyTo behavior have serious flaws. There is a good reason for that. Both arguments are week and use a lot of spin, in a futile attempt to make their solution appear to be the ideal one. In reality, both solutions are bad, but for different reasons. A good solution would be for a mailing list to, instead of modifying any headers, add a ListReply header that would point to the list address. Then the email clients can be configurable on how they deal with messages that have this header. The default to obviously reply to the list.
I don't see either as all that bad, but it is a pain when most all of the lists you use are one way, and then this one is the other way, which is the way it is for me. It's hard to get in a habit of using the Reply to All option when replying to this list, which I don't do very often, is the only time I need to do that. On top of that the person who sent the post I am replying to gets 2 copies of the message, as if we all don't have enough mail to delete. -- Chris W KE5GIX Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want One stop wish list for any gift, from anywhere, for any occasion! http://thewishzone.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
