To prove this latest point, and for general amusement, consider "Reply-To Considered Harmful", http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html and "Reply-To Considered Useful", http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml together. The above URLs are linked to from, among other places, the documentation of mailman, a popular mailing list administration software package. Of course, there are also "Mailman Considered Harmful", http://www.jwz.org/doc/mailman.html and "Mailman Considered Beneficial" http://www.list.org/jwzrebuttal.html ad infinitum. My personal opinion is that there are three types of mailing lists: 1) Discussion lists where replies should go to the list by default. 2) Announcement lists where replies should go to the sender by default. 3) "Patch" or "checkin" lists where replies should go to a different list by default (the patch list is essentially an announcement, but replies go to an associated discussion list). Linux-IL is obviously a discussion list, but I am quite happy letting my MUA mangle Reply-To to my heart's content. Also note that many modern MUAs comply with RFC 2369, which aids greatly. Now, can we agree on the number of differential SCSI cable lashes the next poster who raises the issue gets? ;-) > Of course, as usual my random signature (below) is right on the mark - > too bad I didn't listen to it :) Oops!!! ;-) -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= 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]
