Please, please, please, please don't. The choice of the reply path lies with the author or the replier, not with an intermediate party. Both of the former two parties have adequate technical means to achieve their preferred choice automatically [sender: Mail-Followup-To; receiver: reply-to functions in the mail client]. Writing "please Cc me, I'm not subscribed" is not one of them. We have many people writing to the lists while not being subscribed. Consider people writing to pgsql-bugs and not getting replies. I've had that happen to me too many times in other forums. Also, I *want* to be in the recipient list of replies to my posts, so it's easier to find these posts. We've done quite well with the current setup, so I don't see a need to tinker with it. I've always found the Reply-to-enabled lists I'm on to be a more lossy medium. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
