I would like to point out that I actually _like_ to have a copy in my own mbox when people reply to my email. I only read the maillinglists once a day/(sometimes even longer periods), but I like it when I can reply immediatly when somebody gave me some information on a question/ remark I put on the mailinglist. -- joost witteveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Use Debian/GNU Linux! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

When I send mail to the list, the resent messages have my name and address in thr From: field and the debian list address in the Resent from: field. The problem that this creates for me is that any mail that bounces from other members of the list, bounces back to me, instead of the list. For this user's problem it means that when I do a reply it goes to the original sender and cc's the list. If these two fields were swapped, then bounced mail would properly reply to the list, where something can be done about it, instead of to me, who can't do a thing about it. It would also fix the above user's problems. I understand that it would make it somewhat harder to just reply to the poster of the problem, which is more often than not the desired process. It depends on which is more important.

Probably because, like me, he doesn't want to see the personal copy if someone also sent it to the list. And he'd like to see the mail on his list mbox, not his personal mbox. I do this with gnus.

pls, send to the right address
Please, everybody: could you address your e-mails to the list, instead of sending them personally to somebody and cc them to the list? Many people (like me) set up filters to separate mailing lists from personal e-mail, and check the "To:" field in the message header. To have the filter check for the "Cc:" field as well slows down a lot the filter, and I'd like to avoid this, if possible.
