No. The Reply-To: field is reserved for replies to the sender of the message. It overrides the From: address is different from the desired reply address. > >The Reply-To header is correct.

Jonas is not being stubborn on this topic. > Listen what people tell you. That's the way lists do work. No it is not the way lists work. You are misinformed. Jonas is using standard usage with the Reply-To setting. > So if you set your reply to header as you did, you will all the time get ccs. The setting of the Reply-To: address is irrelevant to this discussion. The question is really about people replying to the list or group replying to all recipients. If we are already subscribed to the list then we should not need a CC unless one is specifically requested. Some people are more tolerant of this abuse, some people less so. > People won't change their ways because of you, That is most unfortunately probably true. People tend to do the silliest things. Such as me replying to this off-topic posting because I can't resist but try to set things straight. I often wish there was a person at the gate, similar to at an amusement park ride, with a height measuring stick to ensure that people must be at least so tall before riding the Internet. I really wish there were training classes required to teach people how to use mailing lists and in general how things work. But unfortunately there is not. > so you need to change your setting. No. The setting of Reply-To is not germane to this problem. Bob
