I know all about Reply-to: munging considered harmful and attending flame wars and I do not wish to delve into the relative pros and cons of the diveded camps (I'll just say that the lists I administer do the munging - period). What I wish to do is pointing out that - on non-munging lists - most standard clients require a conscious decision if they want to reply to the list, despite the fact that this would be the actual intention most of the times (so it makes for a poor interface). People stuck - like me - in Outlook-land have it even worse than most. Just my 0.02 cheers, alf

I'm all for helping people to reply back to the list. Ask, can we please have this header set? -- __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide --- http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
