Dear Thorvald, @1-Oct-2004, 11:49 +0200 (01-Oct 10:49 UK time) Thorvald Neumann [TN] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck:
>> I have already explained that you are wrong about this. TN> I am not wrong on this. YMMV. Then you're still not listening :-). TN> TB functions in that way that it choses the Reply-To of a message TN> to figure out who the receiver should be. Not when you use the "Reply to sender" function. That's what Lynn did. And it would have worked too, but then her folder template put her right back to square one! TN> And when the Reply-To is [EMAIL PROTECTED], it sends it there. Erm ... it's supposed to! That's not a TB behaviour - it's an *all email software* behaviour. And it's what *should* happen. And it's a good thing too. The only "bad thing" that TB does with it is to munge the list address with the recipient name. This has nothing to do with replying off-list and won't stop you doing so in any way, shape or form. The Reply-to logic has no effect on the "Reply to sender" function. That takes a folder template to mess it up!!! Folder templates are the only thing that stop "Reply to sender" from working properly. Ergo - folder templates have dangers. TN> Even without folder templates. And I do not think it is a design TN> flaw of TB. You're not thinking Thorvald. You're just defending your position. Stop digging, man! Let me teach people to use the software safely without misguided misdirection. My stock lecture also warned about people who say "it works for me". Let me do this job in peace, please. You have already mislead Lynn into unwarranted complacency. TN> And I do not see any reason to include a %TO-macro in my TN> mailinglist folder templates. That's why it all works for you. And also it's why your postings state that the people you are writing to have the address of the mailing list. This is frowned upon. You're talking about a very simple folder template. I'm talking about a folder template /that changes the TO address/. Your templates are not dangerous. That's not the rule though. I'm talking about the rule. You're talking about your innocuous templates and thus using incomplete understanding of the issues. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v3.0.1 RC2 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 '
