replies to xfree
Shouldn't replies to a list automatically go to the list? My replies seem to be going to the personal mail of posters. I believe there is a setting in many list servers that prevents the replies from going to the poster. regards, D. J. Foreman website: http://WWW.CS.Binghamton.EDU/~foreman

Cheers, Nicholas And I usually add tags to my signature line to the effect of (Harold ``don't cc me in replies'' Hunt). But you never seem to notice them. There are two situations, encompassing all of the time that I spend reading Cygwin/XFree86, in which I do not want to be cc'd: 1) I am at home where the Cygwin/XFree86 email is filtered out of my inbox and into a special folder. I only want to read Cygwin/XFree86 email when I open that special folder. I do not want to see Cygwin/XFree86 email in my inbox; that is why I setup the filter. 2) I am viewing my email via an IMAP client, in which case all messages are in a single folder. Thus, for any cc'd messages I see two copies. Maybe I'll just stop responding altogether when I get cc'd. Maybe some people would enjoy that :) Harold

A decision has been made regarding the ``reply-to'' behavior for this list. No amount of persuasion/discussion/rants/questions/etc will change this decision.

Therefore, this thread is pronounced officially dead at 20020722 1046. Just one last spasmodic kick: You should see a Mail-Followup-To header in email to cygwin-xfree. It should be set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apparently some mailers honor this setting. I also have my mailer set up to always set the Reply-To in messages to the list since that is my personal preference. People *still* go out of their way to add me to CC lines but at least I only get the purposely clueless sending me email now, rather than the people who just hit 'r'. cgf
