Actually, this has been rehashed to death on this list IMO. I'm not sure opening up another discussion on this is worthwhile (though I respect your right to voice an opinion). However, *before* another discussion does ensue, I'd suggest anyone interested in chiming in review the email archives for the previous discussions. If you have something new to add to the subject that hasn't been covered before, then send it along if you desire. For those that want the digest version of the results of previous rounds on this:
1. Those that want replies to their email redirected to the list only (cygwin at cygwin dot com) should set their "Reply-To" field. 2. Those who reply to email with such a setting should not override it, under penalty of flame. End of line. Larry Original Message: ----------------- From: Hannu E K Nevalainen (garbage mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2003 21:03:34 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using the button to "Reply" (RE: setup.exe is too small) > Yeah, why? I'm obviously on this mailing list, since I answered your > question, so why did you decide to reply to me off list? Sorry for butting in... but I have been there myself. IMO there is one, not so obvious, maldefinition with at least [EMAIL PROTECTED] as it is today. In short: There could be a "Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the headers of mail that is sent out by "ezmlm". "Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "Mail-Followup-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" are obviously not enough. As it is now; pressing "Reply" on mail from the list (at least in Outlook) puts something else than [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the "To..." field, e.g. "Max Bowsher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" (the <mail address> hidden under "Properties"). Outlook's "Reply to All", *appends* [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the To field. That is probably why some of you get some personally adressed mail that really belongs on the list. I have appended the headers of the message I replied to, for ref. Hmm...? After proofreading; These looks odd: -- Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -- i.e. they are *contradictory*; iso-8859-1 is full eight bits. I wonder where the 7bit thing comes from. And: -- Status: -- is obviously something extra (not necessary?). /Hannu E K Nevalainen, Mariefred, Sweden Sightseeing?
