99% of list I'm member of works as "The List", because on 99% of replies you want to send are to the list. It's not a matter of a mail client having or not "Reply All" function, it's a matter of logic, if I'm in a list and I talking on a thread I want "to Reply" to the list .. not to one participant that reply my mail, if I want that the poster recives an annoying copy (because, as far as I remember, noone could send a message to the list if it isn't subscribed, so it will allways receive a copy from the list) ... I could allways use "Reply All". Well .. that's just my opinion. -- Raúl Alexis Betancor Santana Dimensión Virtual _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opensips.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
