Its Possible Chris is using some form of webmail, which makes that sort of difficult. His mail seems to be handled by Gmail even though his email address doesn't indicate that.
It's a work account managed by Google Apps. Whether I use Reply or Reply All using Apple Mail it behaves the same as Gmail, the poster is in the To: field not the list.
Back in Gmail in browser, the reply button icon is different depending on the list: the default button is a Reply for Fedora users list apparently because they set reply-to to the list address. Whereas opensuse user doesn't, and the default button I have is Reply All.
And then Gmail mobile app is mostly similar but has no way of setting emails to plain text. They're always HTML, and a scant handful of lists (including the vger kernel lists) flat out reject HTML mail.
None of this is really well implemented.
Yes, this is a perennial problem with the Opensuse list, which is not likely to change.** Your best bet is thunderbird, which detects that x_list headers and offers reply list button. Otherwise you have to use Reply All, and then trim the senders email address. **Historical Note Since the end of the Pleistocene, the suse list has always had the reply-to header set to the sender. Its a hold over from the days the list expected most users to be running dial-up with 1200 baud modems. Yet if you use that option, you WILL get flack from the vast majority of senders on the list. The polite ones will ignore you the first time or two. Regardless of Opensuse claiming to be a community sponsored distribution, these two rules (Reply-to-sender being simultaneously both *required* and *forbidden* ) are cast in concrete, surrounded by flack towers, and land mines, and you tread there at your peril. No amount of user complaints over the years have succeeded in getting the list manager to change the reply to header, so you just have to find a way to go-along to get-along. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
