Default reply is TO THE POSTER.


Hi,

Following on from my post I had 10 replies - all direct to myself
except one - and note this with thanks to all of you as a group:

Ike's Books (Joanne?)
Quagga, Stellenbosch (Simon)
Ronald Levine
Eric Moseley  (UK)
Robert Barnes (Mauritius)
Books of Bathurst (Pete)
Select Books (David)
Tall Stories (Meredith)
Stefan Blank (posted to the list)
... and one unsigned @telkomsa.net

apologies if any one has been omitted here.

I had not replied to any one because I was waiting for the client to
return as promised when we could convince him that even if he had held
the book in his hands as claimed he was in error with the author.
However to this date we have not seen him. Then we were submerged
with the National Arts Festival, the Schools Festival, and now the
return of students for the second semester at Rhodes. Every one got
forgotten and the emails slumped down pages below the bottom of the
screen.

It took Eric Moseley time to write to me on genuine paper, put it into
an envelope, buy a stamp, and put it into the post box because with no
reply fom me he doubted that I had got his email. Sorry Eric, as I said
in my reply to you 'netiquette' is not all it should be all the time.

This raises the point that the list is set for default 'Reply to
Sender'. So when you hit the regular 'Reply' button you send your
comments to the original poster of the message only. This does ensure
that we do not post personal comments to the list that we would regret
a minute after hitting the 'Reply' button. But it does dampen down the
on-list activity which is a pity.

Look for a 'List Reply' either an icon or in the menu. Thunderbird has
a 'List Reply' icon and I guess Outlook Express will also have this.

Wouldn't it be good to find that feature and use it a bit more? Many
replies could well go to the list to enlighten all of us and to promote
more interaction on the list.


Regards
Ian
