Subject: oooohhhhh... bitten once again by an evil "reply-to"-setting mailing list
Date: 13 Aug 1998 08:20:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8cyassgb7r.fsf@gadget.cscaper.com> (raw)
OK, what can I do about those lame mailing lists (about a fourth of
them, in my experience) that add "reply-to: the-list@where.ever", so
that both the "r" and the "f" buttons do EXACTLY the SAME THING?
Is there something I can set in the group-params that says "ignore
reply-to"?
Of course, I've tried to convince these folks time and time again that
this means that an *individual* cannot add a "reply-to" to their own
message and have it be used. :(
But they claim "hey, it makes it easier for people to keep the
conversations on the list instead of amongst the individuals". <Sigh>
The average IQ of the net is dropping rapidly.
At least I didn't say something very embarassing this time. Last time
it was much worse, and I raised more hell over it. Still to no avail.
(Funny, that group said that nearly everyone that signs on and gets
bit then complains... I think they feel it is a rite of passage. :)
