Reply-to behavior was: Re: [Siglinux] organizers meeting

[Matt Bradbury]

I see that their is a post from Doc Shipley that didn't make it to the 
list until Jeff replied back to the list. 

Doc, was that meant for the list or for only Jeff?  Did you make a 
mistake on who you replied to?

How many people have their Reply-To: set to something different than 
their From: address?

Isn't the whole point of Reply-To: to set where the replies for a 
message go?  Replies to a list message should go back to the list, this 
is to facilitate a group mentality and not have many conversations that 
splinter off the main list.  If you want to reply to the individual, 
then Reply All and remove [EMAIL PROTECTED], since this should be the 
minority case.  It needs to be conscience decision to take something 
off-list, not vice-versa. 

If more MUA's supported the List headers, we'd all be a lot happier.

Howdy,
Since only one person replied that they would go to an organizers meeting
I am posting the announcement to everyone. I also had a major change in
my daily schedule, so evenings are no longer a regular option for me. I
would like to meet tomorrow or Friday between noon and 5pm.
     

  Ahh, Jeff.  Forty-two hours notice for a meeting where it looks like
*all* the administrative positions need filling?  And at a time when
most of us have job or classes?
  Are you stacking the deck, or what?
   

Maybe against myself. There is the group from last Spring, but only one of 
them responded previously. When I was writing the email I realized that the 
installfest was announced for 9/18. Since I want this group to distribute 
flyers, I need the meeting to be this week. I also figure I can recruit a few 
freshmen tonight at the ACM general meeting.

I am really looking for students, and I know their schedules are random enough 
for a few people to show up. Those who can't make it this time will have more 
notice for the next one which will be in a month.

I am going to write the donate CDs please email now.
-Jeff
