Apologies in advance for lengthening this less-than-useful thread. In this modern age of a mailman that lets subscribers configure their subscription to avoid duplicates, and procmail filters that help do the same at the client end (and some mail clients that have similar abilities of their own - ie gmail)... why does this funny and akward rule of debian lists persist? Frankly, I want to just use reply/reply-all normally on any of the many mailing lists I am sub'd to, and if a few people in the thread are CC'd, I don't think it is a reasonable expectation that I have to decide whether each one of them wants or not the CC. A funny side-effect of this is that I've seen subscribers of debian lists get in trouble in non debian lists because they use funny headers in lists with differnt expectations cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
