all I want, when I hit the "reply" button to a message that came FROM the
list is that the reply go TO the list unless I so otherwise designate.
as it is now, I have to
click the to:
remove the person there
add the macPerl list back in
close the to:
heck with that!
if I *WANTED* TO CC: THE ORIGINAL POSTER I WOULD DO SO. (was that clear
enough or does it bear repeating?)
I am IN NO WAY talking about "including all the recipients of the mailing
list in the TO field" (that's just stupid!)
I am talking about 'reply to all' (obviously) including both
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (normal reply-to field) and <original poster's e-mail>
(from field) and
THAT
IS
IT
capice?
I have NO idea how such a simple and straightforward statement could have
possibly been misconstrued.
REPLY-TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it's so very simple.
I find it terribly annoying to recieve TWO copies of each message because
the user also has to add-back the MacPerl list if they want others to see it
too. (waste of time that adds up more and more each time I have to deal with
this silliness)
Can I be ANY clearer about this?
