Hi, I'm not sure how to solve this (technically), but a related issue I've noticed is the accidential "privatisation" of email threads. I use the google web interface for my email which seems to honor the reply to field correctly. However it looks like a couple of postings have bounced lists / missed lists. For example: http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev%40ws.apache.org/msg12845.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-user%40ws.apache.org/msg00456.html were identical, but have become split.... And, http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-user%40ws.apache.org/msg00443.html went private... (accidently, I presume).
However this wasn't apparent through the google interface since it links conversations by subject. So, not only would a mailing archive that honors the reply to be a good idea, but also reminding people to reply to the list when using email clients of their choice....

I do like http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/>, I've asked them several times to add the Tuscany lists but its not happened yet. It has taken a while for them to add other lists when I've asked before so I'll ask again for Tuscany now. ...ant On 1/12/07, kelvin goodson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just had a private email about a subject on tuscany-dev, and it got me > thinking why that might be.
