Re: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To behavior

Hi, _All_ my other lists have the default to Reply to the list instead of the poster. And there I do not get lots of private e-mails which are sent to the whole list accidentally. (Of course this happens sometimes. I did this too. Embarassing.) I also think that part of the replies in this list

Re: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To behavior

My vote is to have the default as the list. This is what is used in most of my other mailing lists. Thank you for asking. Alan On 27/01/17 7:43, FrameUsers Admin wrote: In the "old days" of this list, it was expected that a poster would summarize the comments received, especially any that

Syed, the message you are seeing does not originate from the Framers list or the software that runs it (Mailman). Bbased on the link provided, it looks as if this is a Microsoft thing. Big brother is watching! Carol At 07:33 PM 1/26/2017, Syed Zaeem Hosain wrote: Below, you can see the one

Re: [Framers] Framers Digest, Vol 130, Issue 15

David's post leads to some interesting questions: 1. To what extent (if at all) does a reader's "preference" reflect "effectiveness", or comprehension? 2. It seems at least possible that fonts preferences vary according to the purpose of reading - information or entertainment. Has this been

Re: [Framers] Framers Digest, Vol 130, Issue 15

My two cents... Generally, if the document is meant to be read mostly on-screen--including PDFs--sans serif is easier to read on most monitors, especially smaller or older ones. That's why most websites tend to use san serif fonts. I like to use a san serif that contains lots of styles and

Re: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To behavior

I think most mailers have a modifier-key option that offers Reply to All. IMO, this is the simplest solution. Some of us might have to learn that alternate-fact key combination, but it would avoid unintentionally posting to the list. As to changing one's habits, it would be helpful if messages

Re: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To behavior

If that's possible, I vote for it. In GMail, I habitually hit Reply All, delete any individuals, and move the list address from CC to To if it's not there already. On Thu, Jan 26, 2017 at 10:43 AM, FrameUsers Admin wrote: > ... as List Mom, I'd like to change the default

Re: [Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To behavior

I _much_ prefer a default "Reply-To-Sender". Reasons: - A default Reply-To-All is noisy. (I'll note that Carol suggested that we reply privately to her. Why is this thread special? :-> ). - A default Reply-To-All _will_ cause private or embarrassing messages to go to the list, from senders

Interesting. I'm sure we'll get used to whatever the default is, but an observation .. in my email client, Thunderbird, I have the option to "Reply" which goes to the sender, and "Reply List" which goes to the list. Apparently that's not a common feature? It's been so long since I've used

[Framers] Up for discussion: changing Framers' default Reply-To behavior

In the "old days" of this list, it was expected that a poster would summarize the comments received, especially any that were sent off-list. These days, most of us don't have time for that and we miss so much good information that could help us all. I know that often someone posts something

Re: [Framers] OT: General writing question

My personal experience agrees with the previously stated findings from so long ago. That is, san serif body text is a PITA -- especially when there are huge blocks of it.And the confusion between certain characters is MAJOR when you are presenting alpha-numeric data. So, going back to the

Re: [Framers] OT: General writing question

I have no strong views on the use of sans-serif as opposed to serif fonts, though i prefer sans for headings and serif for body text (but not Times, I must say  - it was designed for absorbent newsprint). It used to be said that serif fonts are easier to read, but I believe that wisdom has been

Re: [Framers] OT: General writing question

The biggest problem I have found with some sans serif fonts is the difficulty in distinguishing between a capital I and a lower case l, and in some fonts, the number 1. If you are writing a technical document and there is any chance of confusing these characters, then you have a good case for not
