To rely on every person to configure their mail environment correctly
is not a solution, IMNSHO. One needs to tackle that on the one place
where one can address the problem; at the mailing list software.
To quote Jon Postel in RFC 761, the TCP definition from Januay 1980,
the last two lines on page 12:
be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
others.
Words to keep in mind, they served us well in more than 25 years --
RIP Jon Postel.
Actually, your email -- that you replied to me personally as well with
this general discussion remark, and not only to the list as would have
been proper -- showed clearly that it's of no use to rely on end users
to get replies to the list right. This is a matter for mailing list
software; it can be and is done properly on many mailing lists, but
not on opensuse-*. QED.

Joachim
