Any decent mailing list software will filter out these messages. Get a better mailing list software if that happens.

To rely on every person to configure their mail environment correctly is not a solution, IMNSHO. One needs to tackle that on the one place where one can address the problem; at the mailing list software. To quote Jon Postel in RFC 761, the TCP definition from Januay 1980, the last two lines on page 12: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others. Words to keep in mind, they served us well in more than 25 years -- RIP Jon Postel. Actually, your email -- that you replied to me personally as well with this general discussion remark, and not only to the list as would have been proper -- showed clearly that it's of no use to rely on end users to get replies to the list right. This is a matter for mailing list software; it can be and is done properly on many mailing lists, but not on opensuse-*. QED.
