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. right before I replied to xorriso Thomas and the reply went personal. I hit reply to this message and it is going to the list. So I agree with you, it is always easier to delete the unwanted than to edit an addition and/or both. 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.) I think it seems affected by the post of each member and transmits some but not all headers for threading. I can't explain it otherwise. Even if the list was misconfigured it should have been consistent for all messages and all recipients. Here we have supernatural evidence of ghost in the machine. Whatever happened to bounce instead of forward? Is it illegal now? Is this list utilizing this action, bouncing instead of trimming and forwarding? If somebody complain, tell them to set up their mail headers, just as I did mine. and some laxatives for side dish. Regards, Nicolas George
