I don't add your name. Your email headers say that to respond to "all", it needs to send a copy to both you and the list. The email software doesn't know that you are on the list. You do (or the list does). At both places where this knowledge is available (i.e. in your email client) and in the list software), their is an option to sent the "Reply-To:" field in the email.
Linda, *you* are full of crap! How the hell would one participate on the list w/o getting the list mail, and/or why would they?
This list doesn't set any intelligent (and seemingly wanted) defaults for email to the list and puts the onus on the users. But that requires users change their email software to automatically put a Reply-To field in when responding to this specific list.
The *lack* of intelligence is not in the mail list software! Mail list software mudging headers, especially "Reply-To:", is considered *wrong*. *You* are expected to reply to the list unless specifically requested otherwise. *You* are free to add "Reply-To:" headers to the mail you generate.
Depending on your list software, this can be done in multiple ways.
And definitely should *not*!
You, like me, have a domain, and appear to setup "per-list" or "per-company" addresses to aid in sorting incoming email -- something I've done for 13 years. People used to think that was odd, but now is becoming common-place enough that I almost never get questioned about it.
Anyway -- with 2 different addresses in the from headers, it has been standard to use Reply to *only* go to the person, or Reply-All to go to the person and everyone in CC list -- this is because my email software doesn't know if you are on the list or not -- some people on this list have set the "Reply-To:" field to point only at the list. That automatically tells client-email software the *default* reply-to address.
that to respond to all, it needed to reply to both. You can set your email software to put SuSE Linux <opensuse@opensuse.org>
The mail client you posted has the capability to post-to-list, but .... much verbosity about the sky falling deleted.....! -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
