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.
My, my, Linda! Please control yourself. It is *you* who has chosen to deviate from the locally accepted and expected standards.
Sorry internet standards trump local standards except where the local people bully others into submission... sides, "selfish bastard", does anyone take that as a serious insult these days?
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.
I suppose you drive on the right side of the road where-ever you are rather than follow the local laws/standards as most of the world does drive on the right side.
Not sequitur, your logic is flawed. There is no world driving standard.
True, one can filter:

Such a dweeb... can't you see anton and I both have suse/opensuse in our emails addrs I can't speak entirely with certainty for anton, but if he can setup per-list email accounts, you can setup filters... THOUGH.... the "To" addr in this case might not do the trick. Best to filter off the (gotta find a post where it was sent to me and list... a few people do it, I like it)...I get it in 2 different mailboxes -- one where I know immediately that someone has responded to one of my emails (because I'm in the "To/Cc" field)...and the other one in the opensuse list folder That lets me archive or recycle things appropriately -- with list email usually expiring over time, while email sent to me is retained longer as more important. But filtering has multiple ways -- if you use fetchmail it picks off who the original sender was unless they've deliberately obfuscated...(in which case they are likely to end up in spam -- not directly, but due to Bayesian filters that usually find such emails are from spammers). here is an example of 1 message that was sent to me and to this list: This is the one sent to me -- it came first: Had the original poster's From addr at the top, .. but the list email has alot more headers (btw I deleted out much of the uninteresting and redundant stuff).... 1)From original-sender@gmail.com Mon May 6 22:54:24 2013 Received: from mail.speakeasy.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by Ishtar.hs (8.14.5/8.14.4/SuSE Linux 0.8) with ESMTP id r475sJfW096616 Received: (qmail 13774 invoked by alias); 7 May 2013 05:53:46 -0000 Delivered-To: suse@tlinx.org Mon, 6 May 2013 22:53:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail-lb0-f180.google.com (mail-lb0-f180.google.com [209.85.217.180]) ----------------------- 2)From opensuse+bounces-146356-suse=tlinx.org@opensuse.org Tue May 7 20:00:12 2013 Delivered-To: suse@tlinx.org X-Original-To: opensuse@lists4.opensuse.org Received: from opensuse.site ([94.29.72.160]) by mx.google.com with ESMTPSA id 2sm7696571lay.5.2013.05.07.19.59.09 for <opensuse@opensuse.org> The second one is listed as coming from a list-reflector -- It has an X-original-to line telling me it went to a list... There was an entire path through other servers... Lists have lots of "flags" so you can detect them. The result being you can split the stuff sent directly to you in to one folder (or if you don't want it you can send it directly to junk) and the other copy goes into a per-list folder ... All sorted before I see it -- when I access it via IMAP->dovecot. This is simple stuff. The script I have was originally written in Perl4 -- that's how old it is. There are now reasonably reliable utils to do the same. Besides the one built into dovecot, there is also procmail among many others, I'm sure. So I hardly think Anton is incapable of filter since he's customized his emailsetup more than the average person already. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
