[snip] That is your opinion and you're welcome to it. Mine is that conversations begun on a mailing list by default should stay on the mailing list. Years of experience on a wide variety of mailing lists has taught me there is a subset of participants that, for whatever reason, set their default Reply-to to themselves, then expect respondents to "Reply All." I rarely use "Reply All," and *never* on a mailing list. Too many times, in the past, I've replied, only to have to copy-and-paste my reply into a new reply and manually set the reply to the mailing list. How Reply-to should be handled, or whether it's handled at all, is a fairly frequent, and often contentious subject on mailing lists. I've figured out what works for me. I leave others to their own devices. As for the mailing list's policies: If they wish to allow un-subscribed individuals to post, don't wish to set Reply-to or whatever: That's the list's business, IMO. I'll happily work within the framework they so graciously provide me ;) Regards, Jim -- Note: My mail server employs *very* aggressive anti-spam filtering.
