I don't think this is really true, at least not in GNU/Linux land. mutt and gnus support Mail-Followup-To: ... what else is there? :) I agree with the original statement ... follow (or find an MUA that follows) Mail-Followup-To: and/or Mail-Copies-To: The Reply-To: issue has been discussed ad nauseum; some troll brings it up every few months on d-devel. Debian listmasters believe setting Reply-To: on listmail is harnful; FWIW I'm inclined to agree. > And, as I have learned recently on debian-isp, the policy on all > debian-lists is to reply to the list _only_ unless it was otherwise > requested. > > http://lists.debian.org/debian-isp/2001/debian-isp-200108/msg00096.html > > Anyone who knows the exact URL for that? Of course I can no longer find it :/ I will admit that my memory might be faulty and this is actually the policy for debian-devel, but I'm reasonable sure my memory is correct. I bet Branden knows the reference for this nut he's got bigger fish to fry :) > (Nathan, I cc´ed you because you might find that of interest, and I > don´t know if you also read -user..) Thanks for including this note; I do subscribe to d-user and was surprised to see this in my inbox :) Best regards, -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Ltd. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:nnorman@micromuse.com | -- Patton
