What client/mail do you use?
Evolution. KMail is crap at talking to a Courier IMAP server. It has never properly updated unread mail counts in imap folders. It has been a reported problem since the time of the dinosaurs. I will check 4.2, but as it has been this way for years.. Still, asking me which client I use pinpoints the whole issue. The list should not leave it up to the vagaries of e-mail clients and people's willingness to constantly fiddle with them, when an alternative is that the source of the e-mails set things right. It also begs the question: if the list behavior is correct, why is everyone banging their chests and saying they can fix it in their latest greatest client? If the list behavior was truly correct, what would we all be expected to be fixing in the first place?
In gmail, which I use for these lists, when I hit reply to all, it has your email in the To: and Cc: to opensuse@opensuse.org for the majority of replies. Now, some manage to just have it To: opensuse. I have no idea why there's a difference. I do know that I get bitched at for sending a private email almost every time I forgot to remove the OP's email. And, I do sometimes hit just reply, which then just shows the OP's email address. I got in the habit of hitting reply to all so that it will at least always go to the list.
Evolution is the exact same.
In gmail, when someone replies to me and the list, it only shows 1 message, but it does show multiple senders in the from area.
I subscribed to the list. Not to each individual on it. When a message arrives, I see it as coming from the list, not from any individual. Sorry folk: on this list we are all just faceless drones :) When I Reply, it is to the thing I subscribed to: the list.
In gmail, it says who it's from. So, I'm not sure why yours works that way. How many different clients/ways are there?
How many clients are there? Mine says who it is from as well. There is never any doubt that it comes from the list. I use procmail to sort the mails from the list into a specific folder. My point was that I consider the mail as coming from the collective list, not from any specific individual. As such, I expect to reply to the list as well: it is an answer to the collective list, not only to an individual. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
