[11-01-10 22:55]: The fact that some people are bothered by getting 2 messages only shows a lack of organization on their part. or perhaps a failing on your part to observe this list's posting expectations, re: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette#Personal_and_mail _list_answers
The list isn't setup that way.
It's just as easy for *YOU* to setup your mail client to 'reply to list'. Since *YOU* don't like how this list is managed and don't like so many people telling you *YOU'RE* wrong, you should KISS and fix *YOUR* e-mail client to do what this list has done for years and which has worked fine that way for *ALL* of those years.
Not at all. Thunderbird has no way to know how a list is setup. IF you know how...let me know how it can be automatically setup for each list. If a list has a policy that it wants everyone to abide by, the the list can make 1 change & set the reply-to field. Then it is fixed for everyone, and everyone doesn't have to make special cases for paying attention to where things are going. It's easier to fix the list in 1 place than to fix all the subscribers who don't do it 'the right way' that is special for 'every unique list'. You think you know how to fix Thunderbird to auto-guess a list preferences? Then why don't you tell us all how it is done? I'm saying any list that wants to implement a non-default policy about how responses are dealt with, can do so by modifying the reply to field in 1 place for everyone who uses that list. There is no way for users to auto-guess what is appropriate for the list, so what you are saying makes no sense. But if you want to tell everyone how their email clients can auto-configure themselves for each list, automatically, then feel free to show us your KISS solution... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
