Because they use MUAs that do not parse the special Precedence header that is set to list on most Mailinglists meaning that programs should not automatically respond to the one. If you ask me, this is *incredibly* *horribly* broken behaviour, even my auto-replier written in two days did care about this. And basically, such an auto-replier is really very easy to write. The same discussion took place on the Scala and Scala-Users mailinglists yesterday. It is a general problem of broken mailers. regards, Marek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
