Hi all, I'd like to ask you a favor. When replying to my post on the list, please just send your reply to the list, no copy direct to me necessary or desired. I'm on the list.
When people reply to me on the list only, their reply goes right in my dng mailbox, in its thread. A copy to me personally is just redundant email, and when people email me and copy the list (say whaaaat?), sometimes the reply gets in the right mailbox, and sometimes it goes to my inbox, in which I'm VERY quick with the delete key and might never read what you say. Occasionally someone sends a reply directly to me without a reply to the list. This, of course, is the right way to do it when the intent is to advise me of netiquette or further pursue some business private between the two of us. But other than that, I'd prefer the reply go to the list, because I certainly don't have time to teach people one at a time, and when I'm the one being taught, you don't have the time to teach one person at a time. Add that to the fact that the whole purpose of a mailing list is to provide a mind-meld where the whole is greater than the sum, and it makes no sense to reply to me directly with anything other than personal business. The reason I bring this up at this time is that in spite of continually refining my .procmailrc, I need to do more and more moving emails between directories, and more and more remembering to include the mailing list as a recipient.
