Being unsure who wrote what, I decided to delete that:
Thank you for pointing out my failure to eliminate your private address from the reply box. I have to hit "Reply All" to be able to reply to the list, for some reason. Other lists I subscribe to allow me simply to use the reply button. The e-mail automatically goes to the list - not the sender. With
Seems to me it would be more intuitive to have the "relpy" button as the default method of responding. Then, if I need to add your private address, I can do so with the "Reply All" button (or manually). I use Mozilla Mail 1.7.2 If you know a way I can fix this to automagically reply to the list w/out offending everyone in the process, I'm all ears.
I do the same thing from time to time. I belong to a lot of lists, and 3 of them are setup to reply to sender, the rest reply to the list.
Put the following recipe in your .procmailrc and you won't have the
problems you describe: :0f
* ^X-Mailinglist: suse-linux-e
| formail -bfi "Reply-To:suse-linux-e@suse.com"
There is another solution: Use KMail, and put a 'Reply to Mailinglist' button on the toolbar, just left of the 'Reply'-Combo button.
You know, I must really be lucky. Using Kmail on 9.1, when I hit the reply icon, or 'r' or message > reply from the menu, I get suse-linux-e@suse.com in the To: field and nothing in the cc: field. No changes to make, no reply to all and delete the sender, no reply to list, just the usual reply. The only thing I can think of that *might* account for this is having all the messages filtered to its own folder and the folder properties set with suse-linux-e@suse.com in the 'Folder holds a mailing list' check box field. I also set the Identity: Sender to the identity used for this list so I don't accidently post from the wrong address and have it bounced. What ever the reason, I'm happy I don't have the reply problem! Doug
