Thank you. It's nice to hear a sensible voice.Every time a Reply-To change is discussed the above URL is mention. I will now do my end and link to the Response:http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml If we are taking a vote, I say keep the Reply-To the way it is now (to the list).
For an announcement list, it is indeed sensible to leave Reply-To off, and to direct replies to the original author. For a discussion list, I cannot see the point of *not* having Reply-To. As the above rebuttal points out, it results in multiple duplicate messages and extra work.
I should also point out that the majority of mailing lists today use Reply-To. To *not* use Reply-To in this situation confuses users. Including me. The majority of my e-mail traffic, both incoming and outgoing, is mailing lists which use Reply-To. The rest is personal e-mail.
In both cases, to further the discussion, I need only hit Command-R. This is a perfectly logical and consistent response. I shouldn't have to stop and think about whether the discussion is on a mailing list or not - it's a clear breach of prevailing Human Interface Guidelines.
