Question for those who want the [GNC] prefix: Would having the email from be from the list ([email protected]) instead of the user (original sender) serve as well?
Dale, Doesn't matter to me, in most cases. When I reply to a message that has both the sender's address and the list alpine puts the sender's address on the To: line and the list address on the Cc: line. Before sending I delete the former and move the latter up. There are times when a response to the individual rather than the list is appropriate. This is when the response is off the thread and is either off the mail list topic or is of a personal nature. Having both addresses availalbe accommodates all situations.
This would also help with the "remember to reply to the list" issue. Reply, Reply-all, Reply-list would include the list address. I believe the mailing list software would still put the original sender address in the headers so that an off-list reply would be possible.
When I respond to a message, such as this one, alpine asks me if I want to respond to all. My fingers default to 'yes.' Often, both the sender and the list are on the header and I adjust as desired, usually removing the sender's address as they get a copy from the list in any case. All mail lists prefer threads to remain on the list so that future readers can see the entire thread. I admit to not seeing where having [GNC] as a subject line prefix is harmful to any list subscriber; perhaps that's because it is not an issue for me either way.
