I use pine, and while I haven't noticed an "reply to list" feature, I can configure it to ask before it uses the "Reply-To:" field instead of the "From:" field when I start a reply. I also read my mailing list(s) via gmane's newserver so since pine sees the message came from a newsgroup, it offers me a 'F'ollow-up or 'R'eply choice. as long as I choose 'F'ollow-up, my reply will go to the list regardless of whether or not I notice the "Reply-To:" field... On a separate point though, I do wish that all the linux-os mailing lists would agree to the same standard [ "Reply-To:" munging or not ] Its partly because I also joined a RH "Fedora" list where they do munge the "Reply-To" field to help ensure replies go where the whole list can benefit from them, that I sometimes forget that for THIS list I need to zap my normal "Reply-To:" settings before I send it... If anyone should notice me forgetting to prevent my "Reply-To:" from being posted in this list, please feel free flame me off-list that I might learn to remember... ################################################################# # gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (:-0% # # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ################################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBlWUcRZ/61mwhY94RAv9lAKCkTsA6+t1pKrIkLp3U3+2UT3uAoACeOw8f P+k2anPnfNR3+Omu7INl+eU= =9QCm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
