One finds various screeds such as the one Doug references above. And on the configuration screen for GNU mailman, it "strongly recommends" that replys be to the author and not to the list. And yet nearly everyone I know loaths that behavior. The overwhelming majority of users prefer mailing list replies to go back to the mailing list *only*. I think we have things configured now so that replies go back to the list instead of the to original author. There are likely other settings that will need to be adjusted as we move forward. Please let me know if you see anything unusual. In a semi-related rant: Setting up a new mailing list is *way* harder than it needs to be. Way, Way harder. In order to go from ezmlm to GNU mailman, we had to prototype the setup on a separate machine, then spend a day debugging the setup after transferring it to the production machine. A day. For a mailing list. And this is with mailing list software that is suppose to be *easy* to configure. I tremble to thing what the difficult-to-configure software must be like. To tie this back to the original question, when people who write mail handling and mailing list software get their programs to the point where I can set up a new mail system and a new mailing list manager on a system in 15 minutes or less with reasonable assurance that I have not opened major security holes in the system, then, perhaps, I will be in a better mood to listen to their polemics on Reply-To field munging. -- D.
