I don't need control the "Reply-to" header... No, it's not possible. According to the standard for internet mail, the Reply-To header contains the destination where you can reach the _author_ of the post. (If the author chooses to read replies on the list, she may set Reply-To to the list. In that case, the behavior you describe is the behavior you want!) If Reply-To is not set, then the From address is used for replies. Thus, if Reply-To is set, then the standard says that From should be ignored; mail intended for the author should be directed to Reply-To. If Reply-To is set to the list, then From is ignored for this reason. If Reply-To is not set to the list, then neither "reply" nor "reply to all" will reply only to the list. As far as I know, all reasonable mail agents implement this behavior (including Eudora and Outlook, which I normally wouldn't class as "reasonable", but for this purpose I'll grant them an exception). There simply is no solution to this problem as stated; there are too many options to be handled with one header and two mail agent commands. There is, of course, a solution: change your mail agent. What good mail agents do is add a third command "reply to list" to direct replies to the list if it was received via a list; if not, to the author. Now you have exactly the behavior you want. So the best solution is to configure the list server to leave the Reply-To header alone and you get a good mail agent. If you're stuck with a mail agent that has no "reply to list" command, then you're also stuck with the inability to implement the options you prefer. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
