I have no problem with the emails I'm sending. > Gratuitous and non appropriate use of REPLY ALL is your problem and not the > lists problem. It's your opinion that it's gratuitous and inappropriate. This is your convention, not mine. I have agreed to no such binding. > Just because you can use REPLY ALL to get around a roadblock set by the > list owners to cut down on stupid posts does not mean that you should and > have the right to send to everyone that shows up in the REPLY ALL to: and cc: > lists. We can leave list owners out because they have no sanctioned RFC mechanism for producing the behavior your describe other than List-Post No, which then makes the entire list non-posting. This is entirely in the domain of the client. > When you hit REPLY ALL that does not mean that every address there needs to > be sent to.

You are welcome to find an IETF RFC that proves you correct. Your request that I manually alter fields is denied. > There is an alternative.

It makes no mention of a protocol requiring or even suggesting that people trim fields. By the way, I am noticing Apple Mail, for inexplicable reasons, sometimes excludes From: email addresses when there is a Reply-To: address even though I always click Reply All. This reply for example does not include From: objectwerks inc <[email protected]>. While when I Reply All on other emails, it does. I'm not finding a pattern that explains this.
