Citando Ryan Schmidt :
This discussion belongs on macports-users, not in my personal
mailbox;
please remember to use Reply To All.
Then it is reply-to-list that should be used.
Whatever it's called in your mail program. In Apple Mail, the
buttons are
Reply, which sends the reply just to the author, and Reply All,
which sends
the reply to the author and the list. I recommend using the
latter for
mailing list discussions.
I think what was meant is that the list itself should set a reply-
to address
that is the list rather than the author. Our campus email list
defaults to
this, so I know it's possible.
The configuration setting should be available at this address:
http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/admin/macports-users/?
VARHELP=general/reply_goes_to_list
This can only be changed by an administrator, and having replies
automatically go to the list is "strongly discouraged". However, as
Ryan seems to think people shouldn't be replying directly to him,
perhaps it would be prudent to change the setting?
Personally, I think that replies should stay on the list, so I would
recommend changing the setting to "This list" on the page linked
above.
No, I don't really want any settings on the list to be changed. In
particular I agree with the arguments presented here:
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
What I want is for people to pay attention to what addresses they're
replying to, and to reply to the list when appropriate to keep the
discussion there.
