Subject: Usage of gnus mailing list mode
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:55:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fxoyifjg.fsf@thinkpad.tsdh.de> (raw)
Hi all,
today I've found out, that `A M' in a mailing lists summary buffer will
activate `gnus-mailing-list-mode' which automagically detects the
mailing list's owner/posting/[un]subscribe address and more.
Well, that's very nice! Before I had a to-address group parameter for
each mailing list group which was much more inconvenient.
But there's one thing I don't like. With the to-address group parameter
set, a follow up to a mailing list message created "To:
mailing@list.example". With this funky mailing list mode, the To header
is filled with the other poster's address and the mailing list is only
Cc-ed.
Personally, I don't like it too much if people reply to my mailing list
articles to both me and the list. IMHO that's redundant and annoying.
Is that a convention and are there good reasons for such a double-reply?
If not, how do I teach gnus to put the mailing list in the To-header and
to omit the Cc (unless I do a wide reply).
Bye,
Tassilo
BTW: Ding is the only mailing list I have subscribed which doesn't work
with mailing list mode, cause the messages here don't contain the needed
headers. What a shame!?!
