I know that at least KMail has this feature. If there's a list-id in the header it will offer you a 'Reply to all', 'Reply to author' and 'Reply to list' option and default to the latter. Given this, it works fine on all these OSM mailing lists. However, GMail doesn't which is frankly stupid and annoying. Especially since it default to replying to _just_ the author of the email and not the list at all. So, really, this is a problem with the email clients being stupid and the mailing list seems to be set up correctly. The email header's don't have a 'reply-to' field so it seems that GMail defaults to replying to the address in the 'From' field. Even when there's obviously List headers: Precedence: list List-Id: OpenStreetMap user discussion <talk.openstreetmap.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk>, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk> List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]> List-Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk>, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=subscribe> (In fact it happened when sending this email that GMail defaulted to sending it to just John and I forgot to change it. This is my second try. This needs a bug report to GMail) Regards, Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
