Feel free to read SLE archives at lists.suse.com on this topic.
Absolutely. I'm certainly not a newbie to mailing lists - been subscribed to one or another since first starting to use the net in early 1996. This is the very first I have ever known - despite somebody stating that it is standard practise (really?) - where sending a reply ends up with it going to last poster only. This then denies the rest of the thread followers the possible solution to the original problem.
This saves your mailbox and mailboxes of other subscribers from automatic out-of-office replies. If you are not using autoreply, it does not mean that some other clever subscriber to the list is not using it either. Regards, -Kastus
