Well, I started doing the reply to all thing after I saw a very long thread in Con Kolivas' mailing list where many people replied to all. I guess because some of these kernel developers (including the likes of Ingo Mollnar) weren't subscribed to the list. Probably nobody was expecting them to spend a significant part of the day browsing all the mailing lists they might have posted a reply to (or somebody crossposted their messages), to see if somebody wrote back to them. In my case, I don't mind the dupe message and I get both in the Debian-AMD64 folder anyway. However, I'm sure you are right and that for normal threads it suffices to just send a reply to the list so I'll go back to doing it that way.

If you reply to all, then all people mentioned in the letter will recieve a copy. Now, this mail will arrive twice to you (directly and through the mailing list) and twice to Javier (directly and through the mailing list).

I don't see a big problem, only that some people do not like to have dual e-mails sent to them, one being the list by CC, the other being the reply by e-mail. So I just usually e-mail it to the list only, no need to clutter up their inbox. I guess it depends on the person, some people like to be notified, I just assume people who post something to a list are smart enough to look for replys to their answers on the list. Thats the same reason I do not CC people even if they request it in their post. I figure if they are smart enough to post to the list without being subscribed then they are smart enough to follow up with google, or Gmane, or their favorite News Reader. The exception might be a very new user who has no clue then I might oblige them, at least if you post to the list you leave the answer to their question for future people, if I CC them this information might be lost.

Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't we have this discussion about once every three or four months! Thanks for the excellent link, I read it a long time ago, but forgot the link, was to lazy to search for it on google. As with most mailing lists, I find that their usually is a very good reason for the way a list does something. This is especially true of Debian mailing lists. Now all we need is a link about the proper usage of carbon copy, and the polite method that is particular to Debian lists. You know a polite mailing list faq this could go as well as top posting, and long personal signature files, as well as what to leave out, or snip out in long, posts.

Re: Request: please change reply to in this mailing list
Yes, it has. It is just a habit to click on reply, and as I wrote, other mailing lists I am into, have this reply (without reply to all) feature.
