This recommendation is unsustainable and should be eliminated from the guidelines. It only exists because the mailing-list server is not configured correctly. The reply-to-list feature is flawed because it requires the user to give special attention each time "am I replying to a personal mail or to a mailing-list"? The correct behaviour should be the default, always, because that is the only way to minimize mistakes. This is what happens with mailing-list servers properly configured. When replying to a mail, any mail, use reply-to-all, unless you actively know you want to reply to an unusual subset of recipients. (But heed the reply-to headers, of course.) If somebody complain, tell them to set up their mail headers, just as I did mine. Regards, -- Nicolas George
