If a list has a policy that it wants everyone to abide by,
and it does
the the list can make 1 change & set the reply-to field.
you have been provided information to refute this. adhering to list policies is the *individual's* responsibility, not that of the one's chosen email client or for the list to bow to the individual's wishes.
Then it is fixed for everyone, and everyone doesn't have to make special cases for paying attention to where things are going.
ah, *you* don't want to be bothered!
It's easier to fix the list in 1 place than to fix all the subscribers who don't do it 'the right way' that is special for 'every unique list'.
You think you know how to fix Thunderbird to auto-guess a list preferences? Then why don't you tell us all how it is done?
I'm saying any list that wants to implement a non-default policy about how responses are dealt with, can do so by modifying the reply to field in 1 place for everyone who uses that list.
The list has a "default policy" which it has maintained much before you joined.
There is no way for users to auto-guess what is appropriate for the list, so what you are saying makes no sense.
hence the web article defining that policy.
But if you want to tell everyone how their email clients can auto-configure themselves for each list, automatically, then feel free to show us your KISS solution...
just use the "reply to list" function which tb has. Why do you not want to adhere to this forum's policies? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
