To reply to a mailing list, use the “reply to list” command. If your mail program doesn't have such a feature, you have a couple of options: switch to a mail program that does have that feature (e.g. Kmail, Mutt, Gnus, loads of others) or manually edit the fields each time you reply to the list. You should also encourage your existing mail program's vendor to add the feature. For Icedove or Thunderbird, this is requested in Mozilla's bug#45715 <URL:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715> which is reportedly fixed in version 3.0. -- \ “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will | `\ not bite you.
