That nice for you, you selfish bastard... but it violates normal Internet standards. A reply all is suppose to send something to you and to the list, by default. You and others on this list ask them to adapt to your private and selfish behaviors, and create problems by posting this nonsense to the list when you could have just as easily sent it to the person off list. The garbage from the whiners is the most offensive thing about those who follow internet rules and post copies to both. Get a frickin email filter and get a life -- and stop harassing everyone who doesn't know about the special rules for the people on this who are too ignorant to setup filters. Why should we dumb down the internet to the lowest common denominator? Love ya Anton, but come on! You can filter, it's not hard. Or just setup your client to put in where you want your replies to go to. By default YOU are telling people to send a copy directly TO YOU!!... your reply-to field, in its current state, says to reply TO YOU, and to the LIST if the topic is list pertinent. To change that, you can change it by specifically telling people's emailer software where to reply-to by setting the reply-to field to point at the list. Lists *used* to do that for users (few still do), but some people complained that they didn't get the messages sent to them personally and they didn't always get a chance to read all of the email from every list they were on. By demanding people not follow the normal standards, you are being incompatible with the standards AND blaming others for it (like calling them "fringe cases"...(which I take as a compliment in most circumstances, but on this list, .... sheesh!)... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
