This is a very controversial subject for listservs. As a person who has run lists for over 10 years, I've seen some very hot debates. In general, a listserv either sets the From: address to the original sender of the message. This has the effect of reducing some traffic on the listserv when the intent is to reply to the sender. Some listservs set up the reply-to: such that when replying, it will always reply back to the list. I guarantee that if we start discussing this much further, it will result in a flame war. Most of the lists I maintain retain the From: address of the original sender (which is the way this list is set up). On 27 Jun 2002 at 13:57, James.Rocks@equant.com wrote:
Hi,
Why is it that when I hit reply the "recipient" (by default) is the actual sender of the e-mail and not the SuSE-E list itself?
