Setting "Followup-To: mozilla.general" is one way to continue a discussion in public. Setting "Followup-To: poster" is a way to redirect the discussion to non-list e-mail. IMO, setting it to the bitbucket, /dev/null, is not a good idea, mostly because it's almost guaranteed to draw negative reactions. On the topic that launched this subthread, if someone receives help via off-list e-mail, IMO the best thing to do is to come back to the group/list and summarize; there's no need to post the e-mails verbatim or to mention the name(s) of the sender(s). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
