The main problem for people like me who subscribe to a lot of lists is that different groups have different requirements. Debian doesn't like CCs, others require them, others are indifferent. It's not easy to always do the correct thing--I don't want to remember all the list-specific requirements, just send a reply. We should really be using usenet rather than mailing lists... It solves all of the problems and is vastly superior. It's totally geared to group discussion, handles crossposting to related groups, and also allows mailing replies rather than public posting. Some groups (e.g. CUPS) handle this by having a public news server with an (optional) mail gateway for backward people who prefer mail. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
