Hi Stefan, *, I am bit cautious not to sound offensive because this issue is kind of religious ;o))

Communication on these lists usually looks like this: > * u...@domain.tld sends a question to mailingl...@community.org > * Other subscribers send their reply to u...@domain.tld. > * On the list, it looks like if there were no answers at all. Well, "usually" is a big word here. Looking at our developers list (libreoff...@lists.freedesktop.org) those kind of problems don't seem to exist. I don't have numbers, but I think some 200 to 300 subscribers might be reasonable. It's high traffic and after my observations has very low rate of posting style issues making reading a pain as are full quote, top posting, .. > * The poster of the question does get some answers, but does not > realize, that she is the only one, who received them. So you claim reply-to mangling beeing the only or most apropriate means to solve the above mentioned problem. Do I get that correct? Remember: I asked for help to make it easier to get useful advice how to contribute mailinglist discussions in a useful way. ;o)) > When you do this test, how will you find out, how often someone sent > an answer to the user accidentally, instead of sending it to the list? One way could be, make people aware that issue and encourage them to report about. ;o)) More from my part later on tomorrow. My computer is now required as movie display ;o)) Gruß/regards -- Friedrich Libreoffice-Box http://libreofficebox.org/ LibreOffice and more on CD/DVD images -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
