' ### Reply-to: *list*, is not considered good practice
By default, I don't want personal replies. Seting Reply-to communicates that preference, and is easily overridden in most mailers. Ideally, everyone would know to reply to the list on their own, but as the thread starter illustrated, that's not the case. There's quite a bit of new traffic here, coming from people who temporarily subscribe and then move on. So, I do my part to help those who don't notice their mistake, I keep myself from getting replys that probably should not go to me exclusively, and those who know better can work around it on the rare occasion when they need to. Good practice or not, it realistically meets my goals without disrupting those of others. :) If someone here can make my coworkers stop sending me HTML email, though, I'll happily stop setting Reply-to. ;)
use <g> (group reply) to reply to everyone addressed in the header.
I never even thought to try the group reply function, but it does seem to work. I'll be darned. It'll be nice to take all of that recipient-mangling stuff out of the file and just use a single subscribe line. I still need to set the sender, but the list reply thing works nicely now that I've found some decent docs... --Danny, dumbing down to the lowest denominator out of laziness :)
