 uh?

I understand `my language' as `my native language'. It's to late to change
it. But i can `choose which language i want to use during installation'.

  Mandrakes. Switchin with ALT-Fn of course does the trick.
  
 
 you kidding? i'm not gonna hack xfree to allow alt-Fn instead of ctl-alt-Fn :pp

Right.

I forgot one last thing: how do you get help during installation ?

 I do not understand what you are trying to say.
 
 My point is that using when I post a message to the
 list, any message in reply to my message **should
 always** go to the list by default. This is not
 happening when ever the original post has the
 "Reply-To" field set. In this case sympa does not
 re-write the field, and when somebody reply thinking
 it would go to the list, it really goes to where ever
 the original poster had set in the "Reply-To" field.
 
 I do not understand why you are suggesting things
 about procmail, etc. which has nothing to do, since
 this is not a **client** side problem; it is a list or
 server side problem. Actually I don't use a "Reply-To"
 field, and the problems arises when I want to reply to
 the posts of some other user that does use the field;
 and since I can not control how other people configure
 their email clients (much less ask them to change
 their email client configuration just so the list
 works as it "should"), it is clearly evident that it
 is a server side problem.
 
 If you have sympa well configured as per it's
 documentation, to re-write the field in every case,
 then there must be a bug in sympa, or some other
 place. 

Sorry, but Chmouel and Sympa's documentation are right here. It would
be nice if Reply-To: was set to list, but unfortunately, once in a while,
someone comes with a badly configured autoresponder, or autovacation
responder, and then things get *really* ugly. I mean, hundreds of messages
add up until the list manager wakes up (usually someone calls him on the
phone) hand kill the broken subscription.

Of course, you cant always try to be smart and add filters to you mail
list manager, but eventually things will blow up anyway.

I've experienced such problems 2 or 3 times before and I can tell you
it's really embarrassing, esp. for the list admin.
