Anyway, I'm happy that the configuration of this list won't change; thanks for listening.

Would You consider to do that change if You knew making life easier for *many* community co-members by doing so? Anyways - You don't have to ;o)) I view and respond to a list, not to individual posters. There are so many pro and cons regarding that, how about having it most easy *for both sides* to follow their believing? Further, the changes that you are requesting (if I understand them correctly) You probably don't.. The change in question only concerns reverting the setting of the reply-to: $list header added by the mailinglist software to each message sent. would mean that I'd then have an additional, direct email in my inbox from each list poster when I've specifically chosen to view respond via an nntp source (gmane.org) rather than list email. No. This can happen if accidently a poster uses reply to all instead of reply-to-list, without trimming the posters address. Your request now places the burden on each list user to make changes in order to avoid responding to the list poster and instead reply to the list in general. No. Only those using reply instead of reply-to-list have to change their habits (which admittedly might cause some annoyance during the changing period). [.. general mailinglist access proposal ..] If you wish to reply to each poster individually, then perhaps you can modify Evolution 3.0.2 to conform to Reply and 'Reply All' to suit your requirements. Thats the reason the change will be done: Make Your mail software work how it's intended to work, regardless which one. -1 Wrong assumption?

It results in accidentally sending only private answers Same for me. A mailing list, to me, is a group of people discussing together and transparently. When I answer a mailing list message, I'm speaking to everybody in the group and I expect this to be the default behaviour. +1 If you really consider to change it, please let the [sub]scribers vote on it. Converting only one list, especially a -discuss list, seems a confusing move. At least, if one can separate behaviour by domain (i.e., freedesktop.org lists and documentfoundation.org/libreoffice.org lists), it takes less effort to remember when a reply should be addressed differently. However, it seems the experiment has been decided so let's go on, even though I believe that nobody will change his preferences after the experiment, so a preliminary poll would likely yield the same results.
