It would be an easy hack to add a PosterAndList option, though. This would usually be harmless, and lists where it could be harmful (eg, closed subscription lists for security or discussion of a law or medical practice's clients) probably know who they are. > I suspect there are MUAs that will include the From: address(es) in > "reply all" recipients even when a Reply-To: is present, but this is > dependent on the MUA, and is arguably not the right thing to do. It is clearly the right thing to do, in the presence of so many mailing lists that abuse the Reply-To header. I benefit from it several times a day. Cumulative time saving measured in seconds per day, of course, but my frustration level is perceptibly lower. Of course the MUA should *also* provide an RFC-conforming reply-to-all, but that is never useful in my experience. (Ie, it works fine for RFC-conforming lists that leave Reply-To strictly alone, but given the rarity with which authors use Reply-To, it's a no-op except for reply-to-munging lists.) YMMV, but for me this is a Toyota Prius vs. Boeing 747 MPG comparison. N.B. This is a private customization of the Emacs-based VM MUA. I don't know offhand of any stock MUAs that do it. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
