Hi Ashok, > I feel that the haskell mailing lists must have the reply-to field set, so > that > a person can reply to the list by just clicking reply. Most email clients have a "followup" or "reply-to-all" feature, that will do this. Better email clients also support (setting and reading) the Mail-Followup-To header, which can prevents duplicates from being sent to someone who is also subscribed to the list and ensure that replies are sent directly to someone who is not on the list.
Using the reply-to header for this purpos is really wrong IMHO, since that prevents people from easily replying directly to the author (and usually makes personal email end up on the list as well) and makes it impossible for people to use the Reply-To header for the purpose it was really meant for.
