I'm in that group. If it's a mail list, then threads should stay on the list. Most of the lists to which I subscribe have both the list and the individual sender as return addresses; sometimes the list is the To: and the individual is the Cc:, other times it's the opposite. Regardless, it's a minor hassle to clean out the individual's address when I want to reply to the list. OTOH, pine is very helpful when I prepare to compose a reply. It asks if I want to use the From: or Reply-to: address; if the former, it then asks if I want to respond to everyone. I like this behavior; when I want to send a private message I can, otherwise the default behavior is to send the reply to the mail list. Thank you Richard and crew for spending the time to successfully migrate from ezmlm to mailman. I use majordomo, but my lists are few, small, and very low volume. Rich -- Richard B.
