Yeah, I'm sure the frequency of this discussion could be used as some
kind of community metrics.

 People never agree on the best setting. Asking
 for this reply-to setting to be changed is merely shifting the pain
 away from one set of users (which includes you) onto other set of
 users (which includes me). There's no net gain here. Just shifting
 the pain. 

+1

 As such IMHO we should leave it as it is.

Especially since Launchpad-based MLs don't give us the option to change
that behavior anyway :)

[Openstack] Default reply to behavior for mailing list

2012-07-31 Thread Bhuvaneswaran A
Stefano,

If a subscriber reply to a mailing list message, it's sent to the
author only. Each subscriber should use Reply to All every time, to
post a reply to mailing list.

Can you please configure the mailing list and set reply-to header as
mailing list address, openstack@lists.launchpad.net. With this setup,
if the user click reply in his email client, the message is sent to
mailing list, instead of the author.

Thank you,

As a counter-point, I'd prefer to keep the list as it is and *not* munge
Reply-To.

Since Chip summarizes it better than I can, I'll link to his article

Just use a decent email program (i.e. not Outlook) that gives you things
like Reply to List.

Just switch email programs isn't really an option for many, especially 
if they are working with their corporate email infrastructure.


My personal experience is Reply-to munging is important to keep the 
communication on list. Defaults matter. And changing 1 header on 1 
server, instead of making 3816 people (the active count on openstack 
group in launchpad) change their email client, seems the polite thing to 
do. :)


That being said, I realize we're entering mostly a land of religion 
here. So I'll just end with a long live emacs! to try to get us to the 
godwin rule as fast as possible.

I have to disagree. Defaulting to reply-all does provide at least one
major benefit: More conversations end up occurring in public, this means
more open communication and larger archives of discussions and problems +
solutions.

The mailing list is after all a community resource. Your and my personal
preferences come second to that IMHO.

Obviously a +1 from me for the change.

Thanks,
Kiall

Is it possible to configure the behavior per user? I have found several

actually bothered to implement it (seems to be rather straightforward).

I'm sure Launchpad doesn't support user level configuration, to edit
email headers.

We're moving off of launchpad to mailman proper anyways.
