Ok, now I'm confused. I've seen so much "respond this way" on the list
lately. I'm using Tbird, and when I hit "reply" it replies to the
poster only. When I hit "reply-all" it goes to the poster, the list,
and maybe a few others that got picked up along the way. I thought this
was done on purpose so as not to munge email headers with mailman,
but... now I've seen people say:
1) CC me because I'm not on the list (ok done - hit reply-all)
2) Respond to the list and don't CC me
So in this case, do we hit reply-all, and cut and paste the list email
as the To: line, removing all others, etc?
It seems to me if this is the behavior desired, then the mail headers
should be munged in mailman like so many others lists do.
Doesn't T-bird have a "Reply to list" option?
It does NOT.
And the way this echo is set up is a fairly irritating annoyance to me.
If I do a "Reply" as is my custom, then I have to switch to another
window, right-click to copy the list e-mail address, switch back,
click on another "To" and right-click to paste it in.
And if I don't notice, then the reply goes only to the originator.
So then I have to go to the "Sent" folder, find the message, and
forward it to the list.
Either one also messes up threaded reading.
But, I was told that this has all been hashed out before, so I guess
there are those who just don't care or don't know about what it costs
others to use the list.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
