Erm... can't say I've used yahoo mail but its spam filters should be smarter than that. Don't forget to say it's "Not Spam" - you should be able to teach it. > So while you can be up on your high horse the rest of us prefer to be > practical and just get on with it. Um... if you post to a mailing list you should be expecting others to give their opinion, which appears to be all that Sam was doing. > Apart from Sam does anyone else have an issue with the list reply-to field > being set to the mailing list, not having it always confuses new people, and > I really can't be bothered typing in the address all the time so I always hit > reply to all, which probably generates twice the email needed. I also hit "Reply to all" (the "a" button in Gmail). I don't see a problem with it. And I wouldn't worry about sending a double copy of a plain text email - the Internet is all grown up now, it can handle it. And as you yourself said, "a lot of apps/mail server software filter duplicates so it's not as big of a problem as it once was". And I disagree about it "confusing new people". "Reply to all" seems fairly self-explanatory to me - it means "reply to all". _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
