Suggestion to simplify interaction with the list :

The current configuration of the list shows the poster as the sender.
So if someone replies to a message, by default it goes (only) to the
sender, and not the list.  (reply-to-all also goes only to the sender.)
To correct this, there should be a reply-to line, which means a reply by
default (only) goes to the list.
With a reply-to line, reply-to-all will go to the list + the sender.


I read this via newsgroup in Seamonkey. When I choose to reply, I'm
offered a choice of replying to the newsgroup or sender only.

Sean, that's because you post direct to the newsgroups, not via the list, which, as I understand it, means that those who view these group via the list, effectively, receive one e-mail containing all the responses to the newsgroup.

Because they then reply to the "list", their replies go directly to the original poster, and not to the news group.

If everyone was able to subscribe to groups-google (cough! cough!) or directly to the newsgroups via the news server, we wouldn't be having these problems, but not everyone is willing to do this.

To each their own!!
