the trinity mailing list and problems with followups

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello 

I am subscribed to the trinity mailing  list (kde3 for Ubuntu, debian
suse fedora etc).

Now a typical  header of one of the message is like  this

,----
| From: "Timothy Pearson" <kb9vqf@pearsoncomputing.net>
| Subject: Re: [trinity-users] problem with the pgp key
| To: trinity-users@lists.pearsoncomputing.net
| Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 08:48:28 -0600
| Reply-To: trinity-users@lists.pearsoncomputing.net

| References: <87r3xktuoy.fsf@gmail.com>
`----


So when I use gnus-summary-followup-with-original the message is sent to
the author and CC to the list, and some people complained, they want
just mails sent to the mailing  list. So my question is:

Is (my) gnus mis configured or is the problem the mailing list set up?

thanks

I think it depends on what keypress you use to reply. For example I
pressed F on your email in Gnus and the unsent had just ding in the TO:
header.

I can't see any option in my config that would affect this but you never
know with Gnus.

If you compare that email to those that come to me via the gnus mailing
list, the latter includes a Mail-Followup-To: header with a value of
"ding@gnus.org" so maybe the Trinity mailing list should do the same?

The group parameters 'to-address', 'to-list' and 'subscribed' control
which addresses are used when you reply to.  For example, for ding I
have the following group parameters.

("ding-gnus"
 (to-address . "ding@gnus.org")
 (to-list . "ding@gnus.org")
 (subscribed . t)
 (total-expire . t)
 (expiry-target . delete)
 )

thanks this was helpful. I changed the setting and now everything seems
fine.
