Given safety (which is, admittedly, only an accurate description of the benefit gained on certain types of mailing lists) versus convenience (which is how *I* describe making easier for users something their *MUA* should be making easier for them instead), it seems to be as obvious to me as the smoking in bars issue -- for the smokers, it's only convenience, they're gonna die of lung cancer *anyway*... but the non-smokers *weren't*.

Well, not always. *This* list permits user set RT's to go through, but some lists do *not*, and in that case, your assertion is incorrect. > If you prefer Reply-To to point back to the mailing list, but the > list does not do that, a simple procmail filter which moves any > existing Reply-To to Cc, and puts the list address from From: or > another header into the Reply-To will accomplish that (that's > what I do). Note that the issue here is "what does my message get to *list subscribers* with a RT set to?" -- an item I *cannot* control if the list doesn't permit it.

Personally, not that it matters at all in any way, but I prefer lists that do Reply-to pointing back to the list. I wont go into my reasons, as they're identical to the reasoning of everyone else who prefers it this way. The bare fact is, that reply-to munging flamewar threads have occured on mailing lists since the first days that reply-to munging started happening. I must have been on at least 200 if not 500 mailing lists which have had this exact same flamewar, and not just once, but several times a year/month, and it creeps back up again occasionally. Not just on lists like this one which set Reply-to to the list, but also on lists that *dont*, where people are arguing that the list *should*. Regardless of what *any* one person or 500 people think, this is a completely preferential and controversial issue. As controversial as abortion, capital punishment, vi vs. emacs, or whatever your favourite 50/50 split flamewar is. The bottom line, is that 50/50 split flamewars (or any ratio from about 40/60 to 60/40 or so) end up almost always in the end, or at least 99.9% of the time ending with no list change occuring. Changing behaviour pisses off more people than it pleases, in particular if a list has had a certain behaviour for a long time. As such, it is extremely pointless to demand that a given list should change it's policy on this issue, regardless of what datapoints you'd like to raise. You won't raise even a single datapoint that the list maintainers, and the majority of subscribers are not already fully 100% aware of. They just disagree with you, and are not likely to change their line of thinking no matter how much you disagree or how big of a flamewar you'd like to make about it. The best you can do, is agree to disagree and then move on to another topic - or unsubscribe. Regardless of how a particular mailing list is ran with respect to Reply-To, _anyone_ who is bothered by a given list's policy, can easily change it on their end to suit their own preference. If you prefer Reply-To to point back to the mailing list, but the list does not do that, a simple procmail filter which moves any existing Reply-To to Cc, and puts the list address from From: or another header into the Reply-To will accomplish that (that's what I do). If you prefer Reply-To: never replying to the list, then have procmail strip out the Reply-To: header, and optionally munge From: or CC: to Reply-To to simulate putting it back. One thing is fairly certain however - you are very unlikely to to change long term list policies/preferences to your way of doing things via flamewar, and not likely via any other mechanism, so just deal with it, or unsubscribe. -- Mike A.

harmful in that it adds traffic to the list? I learn things by hearing replies that people might have (inadvertantly) made direct to the author. If the reply-to field was not "munged" people would have to choose to make the threads readable by the list ( like a news group). If they didn't think about it, or decided for some (shy/considerate) reason to make their responses not to the group, then we'd really miss out on a lot of knowledge. my 2 cents.

[XFree86] Closing XDMCP without stopping processes?
Hi, I'm running a terminal-server with XFree86 4.3.0, XDMCP and KDE 3.1. >From SUN I know you can close the X-session without stopping processes/programs/window-manager running on the server (just pull off your smartcard from one terminal and put it into another one and keep on working. The processes and window-manager have kept running in background on the server). Is that possible with XDMCP (I want to use power-management on the terminals, so I need it)? -- Rene Bartsch Faculties MNI Computer Science 8th Semester FH Giessen/Friedberg, Germany Facsimile/Phone: +49 7 00/72 27 87 24 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: [XFree86] no screen after exiting X from startx
I disabled dbe, but I can still just barely read the text when back in terminal mode. Like the text color is black, or something. I experienced text color being changed to blue for a while, then I changed XF86Config, and this started happening - maybe the config changes just changed the text color to a (much) darker blue? So, as a workaround, how do I change the text color in terminal mode?

[XFree86] X configuration on IBM Thinkpad A22p
I'm trying to get linux (Suse 8.1) running on my A22p Thinkpad but so far I haven't had any success. I've read one instance where someone installed an older version and it worked fine, then upgraded and it kept the same settings. I tried doing this also. I used Suse 7.3 and it came up just fine. However, when I upgraded to 8.0, it took a nosedive. It picks up the ATI Mobility M4 chip just fine. I just can't get it to use any of the monitor profiles for the lcd.

Re: [XFree86] Xinerama blacks out
If you can get either to work individually when both are in the machine, but they don't work simultaneously... assuming that not loading the GLX module doesn't make things better, it sounds like a bug in the S3 driver. I think I recall there being problems at one time about it not setting its RAC flags correctly and subsequently not being able to work in multihead configurations correctly. That might be fixed in XFree86 4.3. If the S3 card doesn't work alone when the NVIDIA card is in the machine, that probably due to the S3 driver not being able to work on secondary cards. Changing which card boots via the motherboard bios can often fix that. Mark.

[XFree86] Hide mouse pointer under XF86-4.3.0
I am working on a DVD/MP3 playing machine that will be controlled entirely by keyboard/remote controll. I am running XF86 4.3.0 and I want to hide the cursor. Is there anyway to make it invisible or move it to the bottom right corner of the screen or something similar? I have tried setting the cursor to use other fonts but the best I have managed is a smallish dot, better but not perfect, plus if a window opens below the cursor it changes. I have tried changing HWCursor in XF86Config (nv driver) but i think that just switches over to software rendering. Any advice would be much appreciated Michael Heydon ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] XTerm & OpenSSH question w/ freezing.
Sometimes when I use openssh (latest) and do find . or ls -lR /dev or similiar, my xterm 'freezes up', there is no way to fix it but to kill the xterm usually. This NEVER occurs in telnet. The error is completely reproducable when you come across it. ie: one may just be browsing the filesystem and when you come across this problem, you can launch another xterm and the EXACT same thing happens when you try to do it again Bug reports on similiar issues seem to be sparse and people I know never seem to have the problem, perhaps they use ssh from a windows machine. I was wondering what causes this, and is there a way to fix it? ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

[XFree86] read directly from the video card framebuffer
Hallo! Is it possible to directly read the video card output and save it into a file as a screen shot? I have to capture for a long time the display. Doing it making screen shots is not a good solution. That why I'm trying to find out how to capture the video card output. In other way, how can I record the screen as a movie file without making screen shots? thank for your help James ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
