Thanks Ronnie. Also, why are you e-mailing me (no wonder I am getting
more spam e-mails lately :()? Just post in public only (no need to
include my e-mail address).
To protect yourself from such mistakes, I think you can add a Reply-To:
pointing to the group or mailing list.
OK, I just did. Does reply-to-all also list my (munged) address, or does
that work? Let's see.
All right, here are the results:
Reply to Newsgroup:
Newsgroup: mozilla.support.seamonkey
Reply to Sender Only:
Reply-To: mozilla.support.seamonkey <>
To: [blank]
Reply to Sender and Newsgroup:
Newsgroup: mozilla.support.seamonkey
Reply to All Recipients:
Reply-To: mozilla.support.seamonkey <>
Newsgroup: mozilla.support.seamonkey
Not one of these is addressed to me. If I adopt your suggestion, the
only way a reply can be
addressed to me is if the poster consciously chooses to manually
insert my name in the distribution
list. He can't be rude accidentally or inadvertently, he has to work
at it.
But if I don't adopt your suggestion, then it is possible for someone
to include my personal
(munged) address by choosing "Reply to Sender Only" or "Reply to All
Recipients." This is a mistake,
but it's an easy one to make (mechanically, I mean -- the poster still
has to choose to be rude, but
he doesn't have to work so hard at it).
Verdict: Yes, this is a good idea.
Best practice for replies -- and by far the easiest for repliers -- is
still "Reply" (CTRL-R). Some
people, for reasons I don't understand, think that's too easy and go
out of their way to be rude. I
wish the NG owners could just change a setting so an explicit Reply-To
address was automatically
inserted to thwart that. But with a munged address, personally IDGAF.
Paul, have you noticed that Ronnie is posting via the lists? Will your
Reply-To: suggestion solve this problem with the Lists??
Not my suggestion, came from Lucas Levrel. I only tested it.
Didn't notice, have no idea since I have never used any NG via lists.
Someone else will have to answer that.
