+1 As long as the list is Cc'd, reply-all works fine. It has the slight disadvantage that some people might receive a second copy of list messages, but that's probably better than accidental list messages. S On Feb 4, 2015, at 8:46 AM, Marcin Tustin wrote: > I'm generally persuaded by the ar

It seems like several of the arguments for keeping the current behaviour are that it's amusing when somebody gets it wrong. As somebody who once accidentally reply-alled criticism of my supervisor to my entire department at university, I'm not sure that it always is amusing, and so I'm in favour o

Accidental replies are the spice of life. The only downside of the reply-to header is the fact that people randomly complain about it every other year or two, resulting in 20 arguments in favour, 20 arguments against, then a discussion about how voting for or against it might be a good idea, and i

I'm pro dropping the reply-to header, it's always awkward when someone gets bitten by it. People are much more familiar with the difference between reply and reply all now than they were when the reply-to header solution was devised. On Wed, 4 Feb 2015 14:22 Richard Barran wrote: > More sensible
