This request comes up from time to time on this and other lists, and invariably someone points out a document such as this one: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html To summarize, unless you're using a badly designed (i.e. broken) mailer, it doesn't really help you--as other posts have pointed out, you can just use "reply to all" or the sometimes provided "reply to list" feature. It also breaks things (such as the "reply to author" feature), and frustrates people who /don't/ want a reply-to header to be set. In other words, this header was designed for the individual email sender's use, not for mailing lists. And before someone mentions the rebuttal to the above document, I want to point out that there's a rebuttal to the rebuttal: http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/listreplyto.html - Christian -- If you continually give you will continually have.
