In days of old, before high speed internet, the approved procedure for replying to a posted bessage was to address the reply to the sender with a copy to the list.
The reason was that you could get the question answered right away without a long wait while an answer found its way through a couple of long paths to the list and back to the poster. It's a bit of a PITA when people do that now but many do, likely because that's the way their mail clients default. Without a proper from address in the message that wouldn't work. It's likely that the list is complying with some RFC standard though I don't know the number. Best to have an address for lists only and to filter it so that the only thing you get has to come with a List-ID header that matches one of your subscribed lists. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
