That would IMO be the worst of both worlds, as people might use Reply-To for reasons entirely unconnected with the mailing list. So you'd end up with a confusing situation where the default target of replies varied depending on some completely irrelevant factor.

Maybe I am just stupid, or maybe my email client is inadequate, If your email doesn't have the option to hide or sort out duplicate messages, another option might be to use procmail - googling for procmail filter duplicates might give you some recipes. As for Reply-to: munging - I agree that _changing_ an existing header would be bad, but would be very happy if mailing lists were to _introduce_ one on messages where none already existed. I've been following many lists who choose to add a Reply-To header, and they invariably get cluttered by mail intended to be private accidentally being posted to the list. Usually it isn't too embarassing, but sometimes it is. I'd err on the side of caution. Of course, the right solution would be for Mailman (or other list processing software) to let subscribers choose individually how to set headers in the email they receive. -k (carefully deleting the @cs.york address from the To field) -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Maybe I am just stupid, or maybe my email client is inadequate, but I cannot work out how to filter the same email such that different copies go into different boxes. For me, all 3 or 4 copies of a cross-post get filtered into the same box. I have not yet managed to find a reliably distinguishing set of headers to separate them. I've always had success using List-Id for this purpose. /M -- Magnus Therning(OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
