(Ab)using Reply-To like that is undeservedly controversial. See the section "The Great Reply-To Debate" in Karl Fogel's book _Producing Open Source Software_: http://producingoss.com/html-chunk/mailing-lists.html#reply-to > Hey, maybe I'm just too dumb to use Thunderbird; I haven't figured out a > way to reply comfortably to list posts (take this as a half asses excuse > to why some of you got "private" mail from me ;)) OTOH, I am a big fan of a properly munged Reply-To for mailing lists, which I tend to treat like USENET newsgroups. These days, I read the python-list and many other mailing lists through the appropriate GMane newsgroup gateway, in this case, gmane.comp.python.general . Now, python-list does have a gateway to the regular USENET through comp.lang.python, but I can't access my home ISP's news server at work, so I use GMane instead. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
