We certainly can't expect MUAs to do so. The list management software, OTOH, can (up to a point) by adding a Mail-Followup-To header, if one is not already present, containing the list address and, if the sender is not subscribed, his address. > Either the sender needs to arrange to get those messages themselves (by > subscribing to the list), or they will need to rely on people manually > doing what the mailing list could do for them (sending replies individually > to them). It does still leave some people having to do that, but that's unavoidable. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
