so write a filter for your email client that sends her personal mail when you respond to a post that she might find interesting enough to read. after all, one would not seek to interrupt her busy day. for now, I am going to the kitcfhen to get another cup of coffee. no time for more, but I might see a response the next time I read the list. but I definitely do not want to read two copies of the same mail.
I corrected the header in the next email, it's not reply-to, It's Mail-follow-up to -- and this is a perfect example -- becaue it was sent to the list and not directly to you -- you missed it. When I respond to all on your emails, it only goes to lit. When I response to you, it only goes to you (which it wouldn't if reply-to was used and set to the list). Other people, when using reply-to, get the author, and when using reply-to-all, get the list and the author. That's normal behavior following RFC's. Some mailers have a reply-to-list option -- which only sends to the list. Your mails are setup so that you only get 1 copy. I only see one outgoing address when I respond to you (whether reply-to (author) or reply-to-all). That's why I'm saying -- if someone only wants one -- email can be configured to, by default only send to one or other (author or list). It's the choice of the author. I simply use the normal default -- which would send to both author and list and ask people to leave me on the distribution line when responding to me. I ask them to do *less work*. I don't ask them to add my name, by default, it should already be there with most mailers unless they've configured it otherwise. By using email defaults, everyone can be happy -- but you don't seem to either "get" that or "want it"...why? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
