Hi list, is there any reason why the Reply-to: header is not set to
postfix-users in this list? When I press Reply button, I'm replying
to From: address, when pressing 'Reply to all', I'm replying to both
the list and the sender personaly. But why should I reply to the
sender personaly? Could anyone here (Wietse?) setup this list with
proper Reply to: header? Or is there any reason for this?
Best regards, Tomas
There 3 possible ways to answer :
to the poster, to the list, to all.
Setting the Reply-To: prevents the first possibility.
Some MUAs have a "answer to list" command.
This is one of those topics that gets debated on various lists from time
to time. From the dozen or so lists that I am associated with, it seems
that the consensus is that if a message is posted to the list, it
should be answered (replied-to) on list. Many posters, including
myself, routinely discard mail sent directly to them from a poster on
a mailing list. If a poster desired a personalized or directed response,
they can so indicate in their post. You will notice that Sahil Tandon
did just that in a recent post.
Now, to answer you specific question, I don't know. I am not even sure
why a "List-Id:" is not included, although I am told that there is
support for it in some RFC. I would assume that Wietse would be the
best person to ask.
Since I see many mails even from this list, that were sent to me directly,
I think the Reply to: would help to many people here. I also only delete
those emails without reading. Too many people are familiar only with the
Reply button and don't see any other. I don't say sorry for that, but
that's the
way it is. Mime mailer (Alpine) even does not have Reply To List button,
so I always rewrite the headers (I did not write the question because
of that!).
