Adi, don't tell me you never saw mailing-list that change the Reply-To:... It's not like it's some idea I've invented - it's a practice that has been going on in many mailing lists (most, probably) for many years. I don't care if the header is called Reply-To: or Mail-Followups-To:. What I care is that people who press "Reply" on the most common mailers will send (by default) a message to the list, not the person who wrote the original post. I don't want them to have to specially configure their MUA or press special commands like "Group reply" (with the side-effect of these silly CC's to the people involved in the thread). So if Mail-Followups-To: does what Reply-To: always did, then fine - for all I care we can use that too. It's just that I don't think I ever saw any mailing list use this trick. Anyway, "Reply-To:" is the header whose function is to declare who should be mailed when a simply "reply" is done. Since I want this reply to be sent to the list, this is exactly the appropriate header... -- Nadav Har'El | Saturday, Apr 27 2002, 15 Iyyar 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Hi!
