no, it's not about Reply-To header. > To answer you I'm just using Reply to all, which is the most reliable > way to answer to people in the mailing lists in general. That's questionable. If they are "in the mailing list", aka they are subscribed, then you always address them twice. If they are not subscribed there, then you would not reach them in other than reply-to- all way, that makes sense (and I said I do reply-to-all if explicitly asked to). I told you I'm here and I do reply to the list, thus we keep the conversation on the list (not as with your private message you sent me, which I more than dislike). > This automatically send the reply to the sender and > CC the "To:" address of the replied email if different from the > sender email, ... Yeah, yeah, I know how reply-to-all works. > What kind of issues is this causing to you? Filters need to be more complicated, because the message doesn't come through the list (it's missing List headers). I cannot Reply to list, for the very same reason. It requires more work on my side to return back to the list-only conversation. That's my personal habit. I only asked you something; you do not need to do it, of course. > Mail clients should detect this and not show any duplicate message at > all. No, the client cannot detect the duplicate. Users can set the mailing list whether they want to receive messages addressed to the list and to them at the same time. In that case they do receive "duplicate" messages, except they are not real duplicates, because the mailing list modifies the message, both with the headers (some are added, some removed), but also with the message content, because the mailing list adds a "signature" of itself, like this: > > _______________________________________________ > > Podofo-users mailing list > > [email protected] > > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/podofo-users (Your messages to me are not signed by the mailing list.) Thus they are not real duplicates. Yes, one can rely on Message-ID, as Google Mail does, but... That's another story. Anyway, no need to argue. We all have some habits. Your is safer, I agree with that. Mine is different. For me, if I begun the conversation on the list, then I'll keep the conversation on the list (I never replied directly to you, I always replied to/through the list).
