Request for caml-list mantainer

[Luca Pascali]

Hi everyone.

Sorry if I am OT, but reading the caml-list I'm having difficulties 
reading some threads.
The problem seems to be this: when someone posts a message to the 
caml-list, message arrives to every subscriber with the email of the 
sender in the from field. That's ok.
But when someone replies, can happen that he/she replies just to the 
sender (that means privately).
To reply to the list he/she must manually change the to field in his/her 
mail client.

Now, is it possible to set the Reply To field into the e-main forwarded 
by Caml-list to have an automatic follow-up to the list?

Thanks
LP

This has already been discussed on the list--by me, actually. The common
opinion seems to be that it is very little effort on the caml-list
users' part to use the Reply-all button, or to change the address
manually. Apparently everbody is happy with the duplicate messages
generated by the former solution. The was also some discussion
concerning the drawbacks of changing the Reply-to field, but I cannot
remember the details.

Doing this seems like a good idea, but it has many implications and
annoys lots of people.  It's been discussed here before (several times);
I'd link to them, but google isn't interacting nicely with the archives
at the moment.  So, I'll leave finding those messages as an exercise.

A quick read on the issue is "'Reply-To' Munging Considered Harmful,"
available at:
  http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

If I recall correctly, finding the archived discussions will yield a
nice piece of ASCII-art as a consolation prize =)

Ok, I missed the previous discussions.
Anyway I tried.

I hope not!

I read this list (and many others) through Gmane gateway.

Espacially to get rid of thousands of emails that bloated my mailbox.
Answering with "Reply-all" will send one email to the list _and_ one to
the previous sender.
The To-list one will go through Gmane's, but but the other one will go
to the mail Inbox. Subscribing through Gmane was about to avoid
receiving emails, so, take care of that...

What should be done is to care of where your email is sent to. That the
basics of talking/discussing. People cant assume having constructive
discussion if he just throw the answer and let it goes where it goes. So
what I would say is just "check who your message is sent to, that's fair".

Cheers.
