Still see no reason not to have Debian Mailing List in 'Reply-To' field. People who subscribed to public mailing list undoubtedly almost in 100% cases want to reply to that mailing list, not to the original authors. Is that not reasonable? By the way, a "standard" which lurking around here, does not restrict that. I think the main reason here is what the list owners see and want the list this way. I am absolutely OK with that but please, do not cover a typical geek behavior with a "standard" or something. IMHO a short notice about all this mailing policy in subscribers note will be fine. If there will be an instruction how to set up popular web clients (like GMail) it will be excellent. -- Sincerely Yours' Mark Goldshtein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
