John,
Hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes here seeing as how you have
already received a management reply and apparently there was a previous
discussion, but I have a couple of thoughts. First: seeing as how your reply
to can't have mail delivered to it from the outside world, I must ask if it is
used for anything other than this list. If it isn't, you could change your
reply to header to [email protected] and then whether someone replied to
you or to all, it would only go to the group and you should get a copy.
Second: as for you missing some copies, said change, if an option, might
resolve that as well. I don't think I ever get duplicates either, and mine is
set to receive duplicates as well, so that could be a bug of some sort in the
list software. Finally: regarding missing functionality in your mailer, I
think all mailers have a reply to author and reply to all (albeit possibly with
different names or hidden within options), but reply to all obviously includes
the
author, which you don't want to do. In this scenario, I always reply to all
and then delete the author from the to field, which is easier than replying and
then replacing the author in the to field with [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I am
not familiar with your clients, so I can't be certain such manipulation is
possible, nor can I tell you how to do it, but it would blow me away if it were
in fact impossible (though admittedly it could be cumbersome or annoying).

Subject: [Fedora-xen] management of this list
there are some things I don't like about the way this list is implemented, the
key one being that it's set to default to sending replies off-list.
My preferred email clients (Thunderbird and Seamonkey) do not have any means
of sending replies only to the list, so I find myself sometimes sending
replies I intend for the list, off-list.
Worse, I miss replies to some of my queries; I've seen replies in the archives
that haven't made it to me.
I have visited https://www.redhat.com/mailman/options/fedora-xen and
turned "Avoid duplicate copies of messages" off, but still miss replies.
The whole issue would be solved, both for incoming and outgoing email, if the
default list behaviour was changed to send replies to the list; this is
appropriate for a discussion such as this.
Please, Could this be done?
