This is an old debate. The problem is that opensuse.org doesn't set reply-to: to that of the list. Since the post author is set to From:, regardless of whether I click Reply or Reply-All, the author will be in To:
*sigh* This is repeated in the archives. As I say, the right or wrong of it has been debated here endlessly and nothing has changed as a result. It is what it is and we live with it.
And it's untenable to expect people to manually delete the post author from To: The universally accepted solution to this long standing problem is an email client that deletes duplicates automatically.
YMMV; you may consider it so. That's your choice. *MY* choice is to use a MUA that has "reply to list" button.
So as a courtesy I manually deleted Anton's email from this response.
I take it that you have to do that because you chose to use a crippled MUA that doesn't recognise this is a posting to the list and offer a "reply to list" function, so you have to go though that manual process. As I say, I choose to use a more capable MUA that *does* recognise list messages and *does* offer a reply to list button, so I don't have to go though the procedure you describe. Maybe its me, but i expect a computer to do what I want and not make me go though the, as you put it "untenable" hoops. As I say, YMMV. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
