Patrick later retracted that request, because that would be overriding the *private* reply function to send a *public* message. There's debate about the relative merits of reply-to-all vs. reply-to-list, but most people agree that the *worst* thing we can do is send a reply in public when the user asked us to reply *privately* by using the 'Reply to Sender' menu option (Ctrl-R). Once private information has been sent to the wrong people, especially a public list, it can *never* be fixed. The fixes we've committed (summarised in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624204#c16 ) preserve a clear distinction between private and non-private reply actions -- while occasionally prompting users to think again, if it's likely that they've chosen the wrong one. And giving you the option to make the default 'Group Reply' actually reply-to-list. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
