It is not fictional. if the list has all the questions but only half the answers, the archives are severely reduced in usefulness. This is especially true if someone posts an incorrect answer but the replies correcting him go by private mail. When the purpose of the list dictates that replies should most usefully go straight back to it, adding a suitable reply-to is sensible. > I disagree. It's a very clear issue. Altering an existing Reply-To is > wrong. :P I never mentioned altering an existing reply to. In doing that, the server is removing information from the original mail, which should not happen. There are listservs out there that will add a Reply-To but not replace one. > I'm only half serious here, don't take this as incendiary as it sounds. > :) Next you'll be claiming it doesn't matter whether you use vi or emacs ;-) -- Neil Bothwick I'm Pink, Therefore I'm Spam
