Correct.

This is a hack, and it is not correct, either. What you get is a copy of sent mail, copied into another folder. You do not see your own email as sent by the mail list server. You do not have a proof that your email even arrived at the list server, no proof that it was accepted and sent to list subscriber. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I assure you it is correct. I have a copy in sent mail if I need to have proof. I can look in the archives if I have to have proof.

No, Carlos is most definitely correct! When you post to the list using gmail/google smtp, you will not see the return/list post from openSUSE. What you see is a cludge, your original outgoing mail via google's smtp. It is a google ?feature? which prevents duplicate mail in their system.

Like me. You should be seeing the copy sent by the list to your gmail address, and it should be sorted adequately as all the list post. However, you can not apply his trick, because it was not sent by gmail. Things depends as well on where your client saves Sent email. Local, remote, and then which remote server. In any case, Gmail will delete what it thinks are duplicates. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)

Thanks. What I'm trying to say is that it is just your copy of Sent folder, it is not the email sent by the list. That you see that email in any folder the filter puts it in, does not mean that it was actually posted on the list. Duaine wants to know if the email got posted on to the list.

Local filtering on Thunderbird isn't going to do the same thing. The method I recommended might work on pop, but it is known to work on Imap. The best way to test is to shut off pop support on Gmail web page and enable only imap (and ssl). Using Thunderbird does not preclude imap. Just the wizard in Tbird knows how to use Gmail imap perfectly. Th I can only think of one reason for using pop on Gmail, (paranoia) but if you were paranoid you wouldn't be using gmail. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

When you write an email in Thunderbird (for example), a copy of that is placed on the "Sent" folder, which can be local or remote. If it is local, you will see another copy on the Gmail server, which typically can be downloaded from the Inbox. Or it can be stored remotely on the Gmail "Sent" folder (seen from imap). You can use filters to place it somewhere else - but the post remains the same, a "local" copy of sent email. Gmail then tries to send that email to opensuse. If opensuse accepts it, it will send a copy to all subscribers. Gmail will get yours and immediately delete it. On the other hand, if opensuse does not accept that email, or is down, it will of course not be sent to anybody. In any case, you will never know if your post was accepted or not, till you get replies (if there are any). You can of course, see the Sent email copy, sorted inside the opensuse mail list folder. It helps you, seeing the post at the start of the thread. On the other hand, people using a standard ISP mail, will see both emails, the Sent copy, and the email sent by the list server. They are very similar, but not totally the same, like the unsubscribe lines, and the "received" headers. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)

No, Carlos is most definitely correct!
When you post to the list using gmail/google smtp, you will not see the return/list post from openSUSE. What you see is a cludge, your original outgoing mail via google's smtp. It is a google ?feature? which prevents duplicate mail in their system.
Carlos is uselessly splitting hairs.
In Zsh development it was standard to put list message number (every message arrived at mail server got unique number) of patches in commit message. Gmail behavior makes it impossible because you never get these message numbers in your own message. This behavior makes it impossible to "reply to list" (as requested by several overly sensitive subscribers here) because there is no list to reply to.
What you see was returned to your folder by Google, (not by your machine), and this serves the purpose of getting your own mail to appear in the proper sequence in your inbox (or which ever folder you use to read the list).
Behavior of what you see is completely different from everything else that is in the same folder. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oh, absolutely. Another issue with Gmail, with the same cause, is that when people reply to "All", meaning a direct copy to the poster, and another to the mail list, and that persons uses Gmail, he will only receive the direct post because it arrives first (fewer hops). Thus he may think that he got a private reply, and thus reply also privately. If he is using Thunderbird, for instance, the "reply to list" button will not work. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Reply to all, and the list being configured to reply to sender rather than the list is the root cause of this problem. Just because Thunderbird built in a reply to list button doesn't absolve OpenSuse of the bulk of the blame in this regard. Reply to list is the expected behavior on every other list in the world, yet mostly out of stubbornness at this point, OS clings to its nonstandard configuration, and the usual trolls come out in droves and flame anyone who dares suggest its just wrong headed.

Tb is not alone with this feature. And the "blame" is not with openSUSE which you continue to mis-spell, but with users ignorant of their environment.

Are you saying that anyone that does not agree with your view is a troll? The current configuration of the list server is correct.

Notwithstanding head buried in sand RFCs, openSUSE lists are public discussion lists that authors direct compositions to so that the listserv can send them to subscribers. The listserv is the sender WRT to those who are subscribed, not the message authors. Messages are sent in public, and because they are sent in public, it is only natural for their responses to be public as well. Yet, the listserv thwarts such behavior being automatic in favor of assuming replies should be sent privately to the author instead of the sender.

You are correct only insofar as "every other" is an overreach. Yet, the vast majority do make it easy for the vast majority of mailing list subscribers by having their reply buttons direct the reply to go back to the sender, to wit, the listserv.

Nobody is realistically expecting this list to change. Its well past that point in time where the list manager is willing to admit that is has been wrong for dozens of years and isn't getting any more correct as time goes on. It has entered the realm of political or religious dogma at this point. No reasoned arguments need apply. We all get that. The point is that you, (specifically you Patrick) can't have it both ways. You can't say :
No, it is the way that *should* be expected.
and then, when proven wrong revert to:

The "we" in that statement was comprised of a sample. A vote was taken. A small fraction of those subscribed who could have voted actually participated by voting.

They are those who are most likely surprised by the customary behavior, and are most likely unfamiliar with both the possible workarounds, and the "local custom" that is a minority position among similar but unrelated forums.
