There is no 'Mail-Followup-To" header in email sent by Zenaan Harkness. There is difference in To headers from troll tomas in reply to Zenaan messages. In https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/02/msg01022.html is the To this mailinglist. In https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/02/msg01027.html that is the email with "I think I'm out of it" is the To Zenaan and Cc to the mailinglist. I call the 'My e-mail client honours "Mail-Followup-To"' bullshit. Then the promise of "I'm out of it" was broken. Probably due my troll feeding. I should have ignored the passive agressive "To: Zenaan" > [...] > > > P.S. > > The better e-mail client has 3 reply buttons: > > - Reply > > - Reply-To-All > > - Reply-To-List > > Mine has those. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/02/msg01029.html has documented that the troll did choose "Reply-To-All". > It *also* honours "Mail-Followup-To" (and could set it, if I cared > the other way around, but my MDA eliminates dupes anyway, so I'm happy > both ways). > > If you care, you might consider setting your "Mail-Followup-To" header? There is no technical problem, email headers and mail-user-agents wouldn't help to solve it. The challenge is to spend attention to what deserves attention. Troll email doesn't deserve attention. Time will tell if the signal noise ratio improves. > Cheers > -- > t Groeten Geert Stappers Also wrote - https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/02/msg01035.html (sad) - https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2024/02/msg00994.html (hope) -- Silence is hard to parse
