I have question about missing "Reply-to: " header in messages coming from the list. This causes that when I am using Google Mail, I have to always manually change recipient address when I am replying to the list. I made faults a few times replying directly to people asking something. Could this be repaired?It is considered bad practice, see e.g. http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html JMarcYou convinced me. But this mean that Google Mail has to detect messages from mail lists, and ask whether I want reply to the list or privately. There was such feature in The Bat. So I am convicted to correct address every time I reply.Google mail allows you to "reply all" and that's what you should always do when replying to a message in this list. You should hit "reply" only if you want to answer privately.Google then put maillist address into CC: field which is completely stupid.
Why is that stupid? You are replying first and foremost to this person and you are kind enough to let the list be aware of what are replying.
And leaves sender in To: field. Still needs manual operation.
The end result is basically the same. If the original sender don't want to be replied directly he can set his own reply-to to the list before sending.
