The Reply to: problem is not just the responsibility of the original poster. It is also the responsibility of those that reply, to do so properly. FWIW, I use Kmail and simply tapped the 'L' key to reply to the list. The 'R' key would've replied only to you Amy. If I chose to use a mail client without this simple feature, the responsibility to reply properly is still mine. Several replies stating: not fixed, still goes to Amy So that is both Amy's problem and those who don't properly reply. Complaints about top posting, lack of snipping, spam, and 'reply to' . only serve to generate more bandwith waste.

Re: [newbie] (OT) Reguarding reply-to and the gmail address
My friend was actually ranting on and on about the whole being lazy and the list messing with the reply-to field, and things of that nature, then eventually threw this link at me explaining why we shouldn't be worrying about it in the first place because we should have the reply-to set for the person, and use the reply to list feature in our clients. http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html There's the link if anyone cares to give it a read. Honestly, I'd just like to have it so I'm not yelled at, or lectured over something I can't help. I switch to gmail for the list recently because my domain's been up and down like a seesaw due to an old mail server at my host, or something like that (I'm getting the hosting for free, so I can't really complain, nor do I get detailed reports when something goes wrong), and I can't afford to pay for a host right now. So I'm using what's available and otherwise seems to work. Weee. At any rate,I've mentioned it to Google that I want the option to disable the reply-to, now it's all on you guys to watch when you reply, until Google either gives in, or the list plays the way outlined in the above link. *shrugs* ~~ ^..^ ~~ I'm a gmail users! I'm still waiting on them to listen to my request to allow me to disable my reply-to field. If you get this message via a mailing list, please double check the to field before sending your reply.

[newbie] (OT) Reguarding reply-to and the gmail address
Hey everyone! I've noticed a lot of people have been complaining about the reply-to address issue with gmail. I think I've fixed it on mine. If gmail users go into settings, there are two options for the reply-to, their gmail address, and a blank field which one is expected to put something in. Well, gmail seems to have accepted me selecting the field without filling it in with anything... if anyone would like to confirm this works correctly (try replying to my message here), we can find out if this is indeed the correct solution to the problem and start sharing it with other gmail users on the list. ^_^ Hope this helps!

Re: [newbie] (OT) Reguarding reply-to and the gmail address
Okay guys, I just submitted a feature request for the option of disabling the reply-to. If those of you using gmail haven't already done so, could you do that too? If we bug them about it enough, maybe they'll fix it! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
