by setting the replyto the list i wont get ccd on email when people reply to all because that is the easy way to make sure it goes back to the list in the current setup. instead I will get responses via mailmain and not direct and the mail will have the X-BeenThere header and will be filed appropriately on my mail server. mailmans recommendation works if you use the list to start private conversations. but when you want public discussion as we do. you are much better off setting ReplyTo the list. Please someone who is an admin set the replyto the list. > 2008/7/2 Dennis Gilmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Wednesday 02 July 2008, Jim Gettys wrote: > > > Here's mailman's recommendation about replyto... > > > > > > http://lists.laptop.org/admin/devel/?VARHELP=general/reply_goes_to_list > > > - Jim > > > > I personally really dislike being CC'd on lists im subscribed to I find > > it extremely poor netiquette of all the mailing lists im subscribed to > > OLPC's are the only ones that dont set replyto the list.
