In the current debate, when one person says "REPLY-TO-LIST", another
immediately replies "reply-to munging is evil". I understand that
with some versions of MLM software, those two topics are intimately
intertwined, but does it have to be that way? Aren't we really
talking about two items that technically could be separate?
I'd like to bring up two questions that hopefully have numeric answers.
Q: What percentage of list members actually put (or attempt to put)
a "Reply-To:" header into messages posted to the list?
Q: Are there any MLM programs out there that can be configured to
put in a default "Reply-To: listaddress" only if the poster does
not put in an explicit "Reply-To:" header?
I agree that reply-to munging is bad if the user has inserted a
Reply-To: header that is different from the From: header.
I also agree that reply-to-list is better for a social list.
>From my point of view, those two items should be independent.
Is it possible to do both? Set the Reply-To: header on outgoing messages
to point to the list if the incoming message has no Reply-To: header?
