Am I missing something, But it would help if the Reply-to header on
all messages that go through the list(s) gets set to the list email,
so that when we hit reply the message goes to the list by default.
This is the way most of the other lists I'm on work, and its a bit
annoying having to use

People will explain why the current way is 'right' and other lists are
wrong, and to be honest both views ARE equally valid :(
When it comes to being inclusionary I think it's a valid argument to
not require people to hit reply to all, many people new

I know that at least KMail has this feature. If there's a list-id in
the header it will offer you a 'Reply to all', 'Reply to author' and
'Reply to list' option and default to the latter. Given this, it works
fine on all these OSM mailing lists.

No, it was because GMail defaulted to emailing just you and I forgot

We have to deal witht he reality of the situation, no commonly used
mail client handles list headers properly, so it's pointless to argue
this is a good reason to keep the status quo, in fact it's a good
reason to set the reply to to the list since most mail clients don't
handle it properly,

possible cause of why we get a lot of emails on this list without
answers. I did not mean to start a holy war.
Personally I think Email needs a complete and utter re-design from the

Some web forums allow email-based communications for those who need that.
And for those modern kids, it allows RSS feeds, quickly adding new forum
subject categories as needed, and rapid searching and archived thread
following rather than relying on Google.

Also most people don't want the reply sent too them twice as if they
are posting they are on the list, and hence should receive the answer
twice.
How do you know? Did you ask them? I _want_ to get direct copies. In case
people don't want to read mails twice they can tell the list

I guess it not a problem with the mailman mailing list manager. It
should have a option to set whether you want that header or not. This
would save many of the arguments.
I prefer the reply to mailing list. I keep replying to the last person
in threads. Often I don't notice until the next day.

Probably very few, since it is called Claws Mail now :)
No, you get double the chance of having heard of it!
