If you have duplicates, then it's a bug in the mailing-list software that should be reported to INFRA. The right thing would be to not resend an email to user both present in the recipients and subscribed to a list (GNU Mailman is doing that). > We should use "Replied to List" when it exists.

Asking people to use “Reply to list” would be acceptable if we were assuming that everybody participating in the discussion is subscribed to the mailing-list which is only partially true in our case, given our current process which consist of accepting email from non-subscribed users but yelling at them for not not being subscribed. >> Please configure your email client to add “Reply-to: [email protected]” >> in the header of the messages you are sending to that list.

I often don't want to cut the grass in my garden, but sometimes I have too. ;-) If you have a huge pile of ML subscriptions (50? 100?), you can configure your email client incrementally each time you send an email to a list that is not already configured and someday they will eventually all be properly configured. \o/ Thanks. -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
