That wouldn't work too well I think, if I post to a list and Cc a non subscriber on purpose, the non subscriber will not get the replies (although admittedly, he won't get them either if people use list reply instead of group reply) > > Unfortunately you aren't the only one.

I usually use group reply instead of list-reply because of the above reason. The other reason is that if you are Cced in the answer, you see I answered your post and you can sort the mail in a way that you'll read it earlier. I didn't see your answer because I wasn't Cced, and it could have sat in my random list mail folder for quite a while before I saw it. But since you requested it (people usually but it in the header or footer), I used list reply on this answer. > is the thing that I use reply-to forcing to prevent. I suspect you did Well, you are behind the times :) Ben and I got code in mailman 2.1 (which runs this list) that lets you not get the second copy. You just didn't enable the option. Go to http://mail.python.org/mailman-21/options/mailman-developers and check "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" Besides reply-to munging in no way prevents you from getting a copy: group reply will reply to the reply-to address + To + Cc, so everyone gets a copy anyway.
