Re: [Talk-us] Reply-to field in list messages
header. It would save nearly everybody from occasional frustration and frequent minor annoyance. Instead, people would inadvertantly publish private email. Actually I inadvertently published a private email when I first joined because it was not set up to reply to the list. I saw the weirdness, and thought it was like another list which had a dead reply-to address and got in the habit of manually putting in the listserv address instead of just reply, and didn't notice that the mail was only addressed to me. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Every email list I'm familiar with does the opposite of every one of yours. ;) There are about 200 subscribers, currently. If you want the default changed, I'm open to it, although I probably won't change it unless there's a pretty strong consensus for it, and little dissent against a change. Let's not argue the merits of either approach. But, if you have an opinion on it either way send me a quick, private mail. -- Dave ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
[Talk-us] Reply-to field in list messages
Why doesn't the talk-us list use the reply-to field so that simple replies go to the list, not just the original poster? The newbies list does that. Every other e-mail list I've ever been on does that. So why not this one? I know I can hit reply-all instead of reply but that still requires me to remember that the list doesn't work normally. Besides, that still puts the OP in the to field, and just adds talk-us as a CC. That's not semantically correct most of the time. How about a poll of list members? How many of you would prefer to reply directly to a list poster, more often than you'd like to send the reply to the whole list? I suspect that the default intention for most list members is to send replies to the whole list. (I could be wrong, hence the poll.) If this is true, then the list settings really should be changed, so that messages are delivered with a reply-to: talk...@... line in the header. It would save nearly everybody from occasional frustration and frequent minor annoyance. -- David Smith a.k.a. Vid the Kid a.k.a.

[Talk-us] Reply-to?
Why is it, when I receive messages from this list, they don't come with a reply-to header so replies automatically go back to the list and not individual sender(s)? That would be helpful. The newbies list has such headers. I looked on the list subscription site and I didn't see any settings that appear to relate to this. -- David Smith a.k.a. Vid the Kid a.k.a.

Re: [Talk-us] Reply-to?
try, replying ALL, cc's the talk-us list. There is a setting to make it so that you dont get this message twice, for example.
