I don't think I have *ever* seen this full sequence. It may have something to do with being unable to recall an MUA that by default asks for Reply-To. > That's why I have to "first_strip_reply_to", and it appears, will > still have to do so in your new paradigm, Stephen. Yes, but you have to blame, uh, Dave Crocker and the other authors of RFC 724 (May 1977) for that, as well as the particularly whacked MUA(s) that these users use. Maybe my BCP should specify that you should add an input field for Reply-To only if the user requests it for that message. :-) And that if it's in the configure screen, it should have a checkbox "same as my >From address." -- Associate Professor Division of Policy and Planning Science http://turnbull/sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/ Faculty of Systems and Information Email: turnb...@sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tel: 029-853-5175 Tennodai 1-1-1, Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
