Whether "reply all" puts the list in To: or Cc: is dependent on your MUA. Thunderbird which I'm using here puts both the list (original To:) and the poster (original From:) in To: and any additional To: recipients in To: and any Cc: recipients in Cc:. Other MUAs may differ. Thunderbird also offers "Reply List" which is what I'm using here. Mutt, which I also use, has a "group reply" option which puts the original To: in Cc: and also has a "list reply" option to reply to just the list. For an idea of some of the reasons why this list is "reply to poster" and not "reply to list" see <http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html>. It's somewhat dated, but still relevant. Note also that "reply all" can be useful and does not require you to remove the OP's address. If you leave the OP's address as a recipient of your Reply, the OP controls whether or not she receives duplicates, and you may be doing the OP a favor by keeping her in the loop if she's a digest subscriber. Common practice on this list is "reply all" or "reply list" except in cases where the reply must contain private information which shouldn't be on the list. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
