Well, there are differing opinions on this, as your quote showed. I'm on a number of lists, some have 'Reply to' set to the list, some have it set to the originator. The problem is, if you choose the latter path, often mail clients add the list to CC: field. So unless people are vigilant, the list still ends up with a lot of 'tofu' as you succinctly put it. We did discuss this when setting up the list: I argued in favour of 'Reply to list' as it seemed a more elegant solution for a list which is supposed to be about discussion. It does require people to think before hitting 'reply' though...Chris Byrne wrote:From the etiquette guidelines at http://www.mediascot.org/ambitIs this an arty joke? If the people who ran this really wanted to help people consider whether a reply should go to the whole list or only to the originator of the message they would have set it so 'reply' goes to originator and 'reply to all' goes to them and list. In that the list is set up to limit choice now these 2 buttons on my email client do the same both go to the list. This is where the problem lies, if one does not like how the list is set up then one can leave or ask those who run it to change set up.
4. Consider whether your reply should go to the whole list or only to the originator of the message (replies automatically go to the whole list).
