It is not just a courtesy, it is what the RFC standards call for. They standards also provide for people who don't want responses sent to them by supplying a "Reply-To:" field. I find it annoying for someone to address a message to a large-volume list and expect that I read it -- usually I don't. If my name is in the 'to' or 'cc', then the email goes into a "addressed to me personally" folder. Any 2nd copy -- the filter can see that it *came* from the "email list" and automatically sorts it into the list. That's why things were done this way -- the receiver has the choice of where to receive their email -- but the sender cannot know the choices of every receiver (lists included) -- I have something like 50-70 lists that go into separate folders -- unless the email is addressed to me. I don't have the time or interest to read all of the email, all of the time. But if someone has directed a copy of the email to me, personally, it gets priority attention. Stop expecting everyone to know 'your' preferences (where 'you' = someone who is offended by people not knowing or remembering your preferences). It's offensive to see people setup deliberate traps like this for newcomers and/or casual posters. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
