Hi, I am a member of various lists but on this one if you click reply to sender the direct address appears and not the list. On the others the list appears - so I take it my system is OK?? It is frustrating.. I have to change the address. Any pointers please. Johan May this be a good day for learning Registered Linux user # 330034 - still learning
On the others the list appears - so I take it my system is OK?? It is frustrating.. I have to change the address.
As far as I know it's a protection against automated vacation messages. You know: the list sends an email to a person on a vacation, who sends an automated reply to the list, causing him to receive another email, causing an automated reply to the list, etc. Just use reply to all, and remove the other recipients.

<sigh> This list is configured correctly (i.e. you click "reply to sender" and, shockingly, you create a reply to the sender of the message). There are various websites around explaining why this is so - or just ponder for a moment how easy it would be to accidentally post a private msg to a list. Just use your "followup"/"reply to list" button, or use "reply to all" and delete the OP's email address. How you set this up depends on your mailer. Most good ones will let you create a mailing list that you can treat like a newsgroup WRT replying and creating new posts.

Try "reply to mailing list"? Presumably you have seperate folders and filtering if you subsribe to various mailing lists? I can only speak for kmail - right-click / reply to mailing list. Jake

Whilst Sam has it at .56 I think he should have held the number lower, but then I guess there is v2 etc :) Sean

I will check it out. Sam usually provides good stuff, and I use some of his work, but not others, like Courier IMAP, He sometimes gets off the protocols, and into hsi own, as with his new SMAP stuff... I am interested in Cone especially with its IMAP(S) functionality.. Will definitely check it out... Use Mutt currently as a text based MUA, and it works okay with IMAP, but not totally 100% on some features.. Should prove interesting... The best IMAP client, IMO, is by far Mulberry.. if you like GUI MUAs. Thanks for your input.. -- Gary

I dislike GUI generally anyway so I tend to stick with Console stuff. I know Sam can be a stickler for RFC and I am wondering if he is not ahead of the game with SMAP Sean

You forgot to read the confirmation mail when you subscribed: your question is answered right there: Q2. Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list? A2. We do not "munge" the mail headers by inserting a "Reply-To: suse-linux-e@suse.com" because it makes it more difficult subscribers to handle the mail the way they want to. Your mail client probably has a "reply" function as well as a "reply to all" or "reply to list" one; Please use the latter if you want you message to go to the list and not just to the original poster. Also, please don't complain about this on the list, it has been discussed many, many, many times in the past already. For background information see http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html New! Even Sourceforge has turned to the dark side: http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6693&group_id=1 -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
