As I said, this sort of thing is best discussed in terms of its

That's not agile
We're not releasing competitive product here. This kind of thing needs to
be specified as well as implemented.
But it does have a nice ready, fire, aim quality about it.
The premise of Franck's response seems to be that agility precludes
specification.
An example of the problem with that position is that I still can't tell
what author or recipient problem the mailing list revision is attempting
to solve or why the problem is important. It's a bit like driving to a
grocery store and then asking other folk what food is needed.
Although a logical choice, this seems questionable in practice to me.
1. Messing with Reply-To has always been problematic and there are no
fully accepted practices. I believe it remains controversial, with
no
widespread 'rough consensus', in spite of various widespread
practices.
self contradictory statement
How so?
(interceding) I phrased this ironically in order to highlight that
'widespread' is a variable construct.
In this case, I was trying to point out that the fact that some folk
have made particular decisions does not mean that there is a community
of rough consensus across developers, implementors and users.
Worse, I really can't tell what the goal is here. Is it to have a
signature by the mailing list be made valid for DMARC, at the expense
of
violating the From: field?
Not trying to solve a theoretical problem but a practical one
You have to do both for this kind of work.
Worse, I have no idea what 'practical' problem Franck is trying to solve
or why it needs solving.
ps. it occurred to me that i don't know what 'test' mailing list was
being referred to earlier.
in true ietf fashion I would say: read the archives :P
I'm more intrigued that I've apparently been told to read archives for a
mailing list that I said I didn't know about, which presumes that I can
find the archives for a list I don't know about.
