As opposed to the current scheme, which also requires "annoying manual editing of addresses" to reply to the list, if your mailreader does the reasonable thing and assumes you want to reply to the original sender of the message, in liu of a reply-to header. A comparison: Your message came to me with the following headers of interest: Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Miles Bader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Miles Bader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Resent-Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-From: debian-devel@lists.debian.org X-Loop: debian-devel@lists.debian.org Whereas another mailing list I'm on, that does it more reasonably, has the discussed From: User Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think there are also ways to make the default reply go to the list, but allow "reply to all" to send to the list AND the original sender, but i dont remember the structure offhand.
