What has google got to do with a list hosted by suse.com? Just wondering....
nothing. Their email is configured to not receive postings you, yourself, make, so when you post to the list, the post does not show in *your* received directory/listing. The point was that many people disagree with that 'feature'.
In my experience, mailing lists are normally set up so that replies are sent to the list. Of course they can be configured in a variety of other ways, but this is the default and the way most lists work and, to me anyway, what makes the most sense from the users' standpoint. It seems a little crazy to set it up otherwise (the way this one is), and then have to have these tiresome discussions a couple times a year and, whackiest of all, have to tell users to change email clients to defeat how this list was configured.
discussed MANY times here. If you are interested in the discussion, please consult the archives or search google with 'lists:suse.com' included as a search parameter. It is also addressed in the welcome message you received when you subscribed to this list. Question #7. And it is discussed in the faq, address in every message sig.
Please don't reply to me. Reply to the list instead. :)
