Steve -- That we disagree about what is appropriate is no news to anyone, and it won't serve any purpose to extend the debate, since I think neither of us has anything new to say. BUt I did want to ask you about one technical comment you made that was news to me.

I checked into Gnus, and was disappointed to find that it is Emacs based. Without trying to start a big argument, I personally find emacs difficult to use so avoid emacs-based solutions. That said ... does anybody know of any other MUA that can be configured the way Steve describes here? Or is this a feature unique to Gnus (if so, I find it hard to accept the characterization that all the MUAs in the world except for one are "broken")? Of the many MUAs I've used over the years, I have NEVER found one that can be set to reply to the To: address in preference to the From: address. Or am I missing some other way that an MUA could be configured so that a reply would go ONLY to this list without hand editing the headers? Steve, perhaps you could sketch HOW you configure Gnus to do this, to help me (and perhaps others) figure out how to do something equivalent in other MUAs? Unless, of course, it is some special feature unique to Gnus. -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
