Yes, but you're back to having to read the message to find out who's
being spoken to rather than seeing it from the address.

But if I understand you correctly then it's ridiculous anyway. Their
mailer will reply with <list_address> instead.
IMHO Such lists require a different reply tactic of - To:
<list_address>, CC: "Real_name <home_address> to make message
addressing and attribution clear. IMHO it's a matter of finding a
sensible middle ground and using TB's AB reply template power to make
the right call for you on a per-list basis.
Horses for courses, no single rule. I still believe that "... on
XYZList" <List_address> is the more friendly form for the average
list. It works well here *and* on Yahoogroups. That's most of the
lists I converse on.

SH> Why annoying ?
Because you can't see who a message is addressed to without reading
it. Okay, maybe "irritating" rather than annoying.
SH> From my POV, the the positive think about "Real Name part
SH> <List_Address>" only :
SH> 1. We know someone replied our thread or replied our post.
SH> 2. We can make "greetings" more fancy.
SH> IMHO, point number 1 above is the job of Thread Watcher (on the wish

I have that working already, although there's no way to differentiate
a reply to our thread from an actual reply to me personally.
SH> Point number 2 is subjective, on Discussion List members tend

Agreed.
