[Caml-list] Reply-To: Caml-list, please

[Oliver Bandel]

Hello,

is it possible to add a Reply-To Header-entry to the
mailinglist-mails?

This makes things easy. (Or maybe the problem is that
a lot of authors have own Reply-To fileds set,
and that the list-server does not replace them by
a list's Reply-to header-entry?)

Would be nice, if reply by default goes to the
list.

ThanX,
    Oliver

What's wrong with group-reply?

Ok, I have looked around a littlebid.

Group-Reply means answering to list AND via PM.
So this means sending the mail twice.

The correct solutions seems to be list-reply.
It's, what I have to configure (setting a list
of possible List-mailadresses, to match against,
when using mutt-mailer).


But, btw: many people have set their Reply-To-
Field in their Mailadress, and when a mail goes
to them at the privat-address, I often get
the question, if this was intended, or if the
answer should go to the list directly.
(why?)


Ciao,
   Oliver

OK, if you think this makes sense?


In other mailinglists, they use Reply-To <listaddr>.

So, if I'm the only one who wants this,
I can do reply to group.

But IMHO it makes sense to reply to the list.

If not, forget it.

  Some say it is harmful:

There are a lot of good reasons to not use Reply-To, just because other
lists do it wrong, doesn't mean we have to:

I suspect you are in the minority.

Receipt:

1. Imagine the worst possible implementation of reply-to adding and
   enumerate all its disadvantages.

2. Do not mention anything about what useful is expected from reply-to
   adding.

3. Neglect that the ones that are annoyed by reply mistakes are not the
   same than the ones that do reply mistakes.

4. Repeat step 1.

You get `"Reply-To" Munging Considered Harmful'.
