[uug] The whole stinkin reply-to problem here.

[Andrew Jorgensen]

I've had some thoughts about the 
because-of-reply-to-headers-I-get-two-copies-of-any-reply-to-my-own-posts-problem. 
It seems to me that mailman is behaving correctly because it uses the 
"From:" field to check if you're subscribed. A "Reply-To:" field isn't 
good enough. So if your "From:" field is correct (you can post to the 
list) there's no need to have a "Reply-To:" field _unless_ you want the 
reply to go somewhere else besides your "From:" address. In which case 
you will get two copies of the email just like you wanted, one at your 
"From:" address and one at your "Reply-To:" address.

So the moral is, if "From:" and "Reply-To:" are the same address, you 
don't need "Reply-To:" and probably shouldn't use it as that's not what 
it's meant for.

If you're mail server isn't configured correctly and you get 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" as your "From:" address 
then either fix your mail server or put an entry in /etc/email-addresses 
like so:

me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There might even be a way to do that in your home directory instead of 
/etc. I'm not sure.
