I personally don't like lists that set a reply-to since they break list- aware MUA (like kmail and presumably mutt, probably others.) The default "reply" action in these clever MUA is to use the list address (all the necessary mail headers are available.) And then, there's the "reply to author" function, which I regularly use when reading lists and actually do want to send an answer to the author only and not to the list. Now if the list sets the reply-to header, "reply to author" will use that address. Sadly, knowledge about mailing lists and how to deal with them is getting lost with the prevalence of dumbed down mail clients (web based or not) and web forums. That Google is trying to unify the concepts of newsgroup, mailing list and web forum doesn't help either... </rant> (sorry ;-) cheers -- vbi -- featured product: the GNU Compiler Collection - http://gcc.gnu.org
