Re: [PHP-DB] List Server Configuration; Was [Import text file]

Well ... in fact, most lists that I've been on use the Reply-To header to
automate this.  MOST email clients I have used do not recognize email as
list email and while they have a Reply and Reply All option, I've never
seen a Reply-List option.

So ... what is right, and who is broke could be argued all day.  The one
I've seen used the most would be implemented as a change to the list
server.

 Your email client needs changing :)

  Generally we just say reply and give our suggestions.  This works in other

 The 'other' list is broken.

  This one goes only to the person who posed the question.

 Real email clients gives you multiple response methods -- reply to sender;
 reply to list; reply to all; bounce; redirect etc
