Sure, but as the whole point is that I almost never want direct email in response to my postings on this list ... without trying to sound rude, how is this a problem for *me*? >> What if you press 'L' for list-reply? > > No mailing lists found! > > Not an option I have configured in my .muttrc and 63 include files > maybe tomorrow I will get around it. ;) I keep meaning to split my .muttrc into 64 different files, but so far it's all just one big mess, plus a file for aliases. I'm afraid of screwing up the ordering if I try to group things by "topic". > I really do feel that there should be a rfc for listservers and their > behavior.

It would be nice to have a reliable way to keep people from emailing me directly about list stuff. And of course, it would be nice for other folks to have a reliable way to request that people *do* send them a copy. Fine. I'll get rid of this reply-to, since apparently it's not only causing trouble but also spawning conspiracy theories. But I won't hold myself responsible for whatever I do to the next person who cc's me! They will *not* be getting any birthday presents this year, that's for sure! -- monique Ask smart questions, get good answers: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
