Shachar, please don't spread disinformation affecting the next vote... ;) In lists with "Reply to:", many mailers (such as mutt) ask you if you want to adhere to the Reply-to:, or send to the real From:. Moreover, the whole idea of the reply-to is to make it harder to reply only to one person (ein sodot bechevra), and trivial to reply to all with no silly duplicate messages, unlike in the "reply all". But, then again, some people actually argued for the duplicate messages I just called "silly". So the argument never ends... Of course, as usual my random signature (below) is right on the mark - too bad I didn't listen to it :) -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, May 17 2004, 26 Iyyar 5764 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |It is better to be thought a fool, then http://nadav.harel.org.il |to open your mouth and remove all doubt. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
