The fact of giving and receiving help by a public mean, and having this help available to others as well, complete in the archives, it's for me enough reason to give +1 to set reply-to field to tutor address. If I am reading something which comes from a mailing list then I think the most proper way to reply would be to send an answer to all the people which originally received the same message. That way, I can avoid duplicate answers, even better this conduct can lead to additional complementary answers because someone can construct on previous partial solutions/suggestions. But this needs all answers are available to everyone. This is my opinion. I hope my writing is understandable. -- Jonatan G _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
