Obviously even the mailman developers don't consider one way or the other
"the right thing" as they clearly allow us to configure it this way.
So I think "wrong" and "irrelevant" may be small exagerations.
How about "removing choice" from your ML subscribers? With your
addition, I have no choice but to reply to the ML and only to the ML
without manually changing the To or Cc. With it before, the sender
had the ability to direct replies directly to himself by setting the
Reply-To or allow it to go back to the list by not setting it. I hit
"Reply To All" and instead of going to you and the ML, it went only to
the mailing list. It is a matter of preferences though, and if, as
list owner, you prefer it to be that way, then we have no choice but
to acquiesce.
as predicted by someone early in this thread, both choices lead to
unhappy users...
Seeing a lot of negative reactions to the new behaviour, but FWIW I
think it's a lot better.
I would say at least 99% of replies to an ml should be directed to the
ml and not the poster. On this ml less experienced users sometimes reply
to the sender only, simply hitting reply and thinking it will behave the
same as most [*] other lists - reply to the list. It's an unnecessary
nuisance for the person receiving that reply, and a source of confusion
for the sender.
But - whatever. Not worth a war.
[*] at least most of the ones I'm on
