No, Linda, what we're complaining about is that you are being inconsistent and you are then trying to justify your inconsistency.
SuSE is very inconsistent in the 12.x series. And you complain about me sending an extra email or not.
I'm very consistent -- when I get tired of deleting things, *manually* that I've spent time adapting to the standards and writing scripts to automate, I leave them.
I have scripts to deal with the standards. I *usually* cater to the masses that can't deal with standards.
The fact of the mater is that the Reply-To field used to be set on lists JUST to prevent this type of discussion/debate, but IANA spoke and said everyone must adapt -- if the user is in the From line and if it goes to a list -- then the standard says, to send back 2 copies.
I know people whine about it here. That doesn't mean it's right or that they shouldn't be educated.
Dealing with all the complaints, my tolerance level drops at times and I have more trouble dealing with 'extras' like deleting extra email addresses that they person.
But I *like* lists that follow the standard. I prefer to get 2 copies to emails that are in response to something I post. Then I know about it. Otherwise, I have to go find posts where I've posted and see if there are responses -- and sometimes I don't see responses at all -- I forget I posted in some thread or I see it days later.
Linda, hearts and flowers, why don't you stop with the twaddle and upgrade your mail client from Thunderbird 2.0.0 - and while you at it upgrade to Linux from Windows NT 6 - because the latest versions of Thunderbird (I am using TB 23.0a1 Daily - check out my Header) has the ability to reply only to the mail list, which is exactly what I am doing right now to your post even though it has TO: Anton Aylward and a CC: this opensuse mail list. You see, it's as simple as that when you move up from the dark ages and start using s/ware which is not 3 1/2 years old and therefore ancient and outdated: click on the correct "button" and it's all done for you! Being up-to-date is actually fun you know. But this is just a thought on my part. Pish! Just silly old me making a silly suggestion out loud...... But you keep going with Windows and Thunderbird v2..... No wurries....
