and that is the really sad thing of this thread the subject is about "REPLY-TO headers" but WTF - there is NO reply-to header at all reply goes back to the sender while it would go back to the list if the messages WOULD contain "Reoly-To" so if your MUA does not support "reply-list" or the icon is not in the toolbar you have only two choices: * hope the MUA supports "reply-list" * reply all and remove the original sender * reply all and do what Wietse does not like so in reality it would be better to add a "reply-To"-header as any php-script adds in 5 seconds before start such topic! ___________________________ what i mean? grep of this message-source from the list does not contain any "REPLY-TO headers" to respect!

It's not rocket science. list isn't necessarily as common as might be liked, and in fact software can be fully standards compliant and not handle mailing list well. In First, RFC 2369 which defines the List-Post header, which is what defines the protocol to allow for the "Reply to List" option, only list reasonable amount of liberty in the processing of this header. In the ideal world where all MLM and MUA were RFC 2369 compliant, list usage would be simple, you get a message from the mailing list, to reply back to the list you use the "Reply to List" operation, and to make a people with MUAs that do not support a "Reply to List" like feature, and that there also exist a number of Mailing List Managers that do not to not always do the right thing. Without a "Reply to List" option (either because it isn't supported by the MUA, or because the list doesn't add the needed List-Post: header), than the user's best option for replying back to the list is to use the "Reply All" feature. Even if your MUA supports "Reply to List", enough other lists do not, that the I will note that even for this list, there is the encouragement to use address for replying to the original poster as well as to the list. If the list was configured to set Reply-To to the list address, then "Reply" would work to go back to the list (and Reply-All + removing the list email address would be needed to reply back to the poster, losing If you really don't want to get private replies to list messages, I
