Which reminds me; there is a request at the end of every post I make. Would it be to much of an imposition for you to honor that request? Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored. Please do not ignore the Reply-To header.
I looked at the headers, and there is no Reply-To header in the e-mail I received from the list. An entire page of headers, but not that one.
Even if Reply-To was a header, it would be too much to honor it unless my e-mailer honored it automatically (perhaps it does). Because some lists to which I subscribe automatically reply to the lists, and some automatically reply to the original sender, and I cannot remember which is which. I know asking any particular list to change is not worth the trouble; each list has its own policy and unwilling to change. I try to remember which is which. It is sometimes suggested to hit Reply-All, but this results in the original poster's getting two replies. I particularly hate this method as I then reply to which ever one I get first, usually direct to the author, thinking he wants a private reply since he sent it to me privately. Then a little later I get one from the list, and it is usually too much trouble to send another reply to the list. I wish all lists were set up so a reply to a message from the list went back to the list, but there is no point asking that from a list that does things another way.
