Hi Thomas,

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.

This I understand. It's not a technical reason, but it is "misleading"
to imply that the list address is that of the individual being named
against it.

As do I. I still haven't seen a good reason stated for not doing this
and there are quite a few reasons *for* it. Syafril's argument was
self defeating in that the Linux mailers in question are going to have
trouble whatever addressing us TB users apply.
Since I've used the "... on XYZlist", I haven't been castigated for it
once. I use it on PGP-Basics too as well as here. It makes it much
clearer who is talking to who when reviewing a thread.

This used to be a problem when auto-complete only worked from the
history. I've seen many a cropper in the old days when folks thought
they'd picked and off-list address and sent to the list instead. I was
even caught out myself a couple of times. Now that it works from the
AB, it's a huge sigh of relief all round.
