It was challenged by people with the same arguments we are hearing now. 5. It was defended by people with the same arguments we are hearing now. 6. This, as you can see, leads nowhere. 7. I then asked the subscribers if they would respect my decision if a majority backed that up. 8. Everybody agreed and we did a vote. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-08/msg00438.html 9. The outcome was that my decision to not set Reply-To was backed by the majority.
Nothing changed. So there is no point in starting at step 3 again.
Just respect my decision. I'm not saying you have to like it (see point 4 & 5). Just respect it.

Thank you Henne! I wasn't advocating for any change. The list works just the way it is supposed to for me at least 1/2 the time in thunderbird. This type of transparency goes a long way serving as an olive branch giving all users and supporters an explanation of why something is the way it is. That was no doubt the aim of, and reason behind, adopting the transparency statement in the guiding principles. For the problem itself, I have had good (not perfect) but good results using the reply-to-list add-on to tbird: http://alumnit.ca/wiki/index.php?page=ReplyToListThunderbirdExtension -- David C.
