Where Reply-to: points can be set by the mailing list admin (it can on Mailman, anyway). There seem to be 2 schools of thought on this: some say the list, some say the originating human. Both have reasoned arguments. And both come to different conclusions. If you don't like the way things are on a list, write the admin. If he changes it, he'll just start getting email from those that like it the other way. > Couldn't you just use the Reply-All and then the list will be included in the > Cc: address? Oh, no no no. That makes some people angry enough to start flame wars. What you need to do is use Reply-to-list. Or type a little. Mailman adds a mailto: at the bottom of a message pointed at the list. -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
