Summary: Problem with excessive bounces and question about visibility of name and e-mail address Project: Savannah Administration Submitted by: ineiev Submitted on: Fri 09 Aug 2019 06:30:18 AM UTC Category: Project mailing lists Priority: 5 - Normal Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Operating System: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Hello, I would like to suggest an "upgrade" to GNU mailing list archives (e.g. bug/help-gnu-emacs), in form of adding two more "reply" buttons - "Reply to All" and "Reply to List" - next to "reply via email to POSTER" button. As an example I'll describe how it looks on Debian mailing list archives. They have 3 links: Reply to: - listn...@lists.debian.org mailto:listn...@lists.debian.org?in-reply-to=<MESSAGE-ID@ADDRESS> &subject=SUBJECT - POSTER (on-list) mailto:POSTER@ADDRESS?in-reply-to=<MESSAGE-ID@ADDRESS> &subject=SUBJECT&cc=listn...@lists.debian.org - POSTER (off-list) mailto:POSTER@ADDRESS?in-reply-to=<MESSAGE-ID@ADDRESS> &subject=SUBJECT First one is probably "Reply to List", 2nd - "Reply to All", 3rd - "Reply directly". While GNU archive lists have (behind button): <form method="post" action="/mp/yyz.py" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input name="a" value="POSTER" type="hidden"> <input name="b" value="SUBJECT"> <input name="d" value="MESSAGE-ID@ADDRESS" type="hidden"> <input name="c" value="ADDRESS" type="hidden"> <center>reply via email to<br><input value=" NAME " type="submit"> </center> </form> I'm guessing that names 'a' and 'c' forms POSTER@ADDRESS. Also this seems to be the same as "POSTER (off-list)" in Debian mailing list, so we are missing "Reply to All" and "Reply to List" options. I think you should add at least second button, i.e. "POSTER (on-list)" / "Reply to All" - perhaps with different name, because as far as I know preferred method of replying is "Reply to All" rather than "Reply to List". This would be useful especially for those who don't know, how to use mailing list and just want to submit a bug report or ask for help. While sending first message is simple, if someone wants to reply to message, only "Reply directly" is available through mailing list archive. Also rarely someone wants to subscribe and receive dozens of messages daily, just to be able to reply without breaking thread. So it would make things easier. S.
