Not exactly. Sometimes what you call "author's email address" is a non-existing one. So whatever information goes into the original Reply-To should be preserved. Or just simply the original poster wants to be replied to another email address. Yes, I also use Pine, and I usually "reply to all recipients" (with such a high volume its very easy to miss a message), sometimes only to the original poster, and very few times only to the list. > [ ... ] > If the list won't start doing it, I think I'll just start > using some formail action to do it myself. I think this is a good idea. I really believe that having no Reply-To for mailing lists is the best "default state", and users willing to change this could/should do this for their own.
