I have really gotten tired of this thread about people who have no clue about how to use a mail reader and being on lists. The best thing that the gentoo server could do would be that every mail that comes into the server re-writes the Reply-To so that it always sends mail back to the list. This way it does not matter if you use gmail (which always sends back to gmail). As for the person above who likes to Reply to all, he will just have to use Reply and never use reply to all on a mailing list, learn how to use your mail tool.
Sorry for the rant.
Mike
