Dennis is arguing for munging the reply-to. Munging the reply-to breaks _lots_ of things to fix one little thing that has a better fix. The harmful link that Wad posted ( www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html ) summarises my concerns. In terms of the one little thing that Dennis mentions, it can be fixed in various ways: - gmail fixes it with no effort from the end-user - mailman has a per-user setting that tries to avoid redundant CCs if it spots your email address in the To: line - procmail's "no dups" filters can fix it for you too One of the funny effects of this is that many people that argue for munging reply-to headers completely lose track of discussions they are part of when they don't get the CC that they so strenously claim that bothers them. That extra CC is a _feature_. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
