That's actually the wrong way to do it. Some people (me on some machines) have their mail clients configured to sort messages into folders by the "To:" address. If your reply is only CC'd to the list it gets filed in the wrong place. This annoys me - I shouldn't have to create a second rule just to catch your replies to people on this list. Frankly, if the original post was to the list, your reply should be ONLY to the list. I know you include the person you're replying to because you think that's a courtesy, but to my mind it's actually a discourtesy - it attempts to elevate a public discussion into my personal inbox where it doesn't belong. I don't think your opinion is any more (or less) valuable than anyone else's, nor do I assume I'm specifically more interested in it that any other list subscriber. Indeed most of the time I'm posting a response to somebody else, and I really don't care at all what you think of my opinion (the person I replied to might well care considerably, but usually it's me that gets the personally addressed copy). So, all in all, please REPLY TO THE LIST ONLY unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise. _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
