Gregory Leblanc (gleblanc linuxweasel com) had this to say on 12/20/02 at 20:00:
Doing this means that you have to have some way of replying -other- than hitting the 'reply' button, in case you want to just send mail to the original sender. Furthermore, the existing code to make 'reply-to-list'
I would think that 90+% of the time, you want a public response to a public post, rather than a private reply (after all, it's a public mailing list). Why not play the odds? .
- reply to all means original poster gets two copies. Why?It doesn't. I think you're missing out on some common use-cases. There are many mailing lists out there which do not require you to be a member of the list before posting. That is to say, reply-to-all only results in the sender getting two copies of the mail if they're not on the list. Removing the sender on 'reply-to-all' is a BAD idea.
Usually, that is not correct. The original poster gets 2 copies - one direct to him from you; one from the list. Many's the time I've gotten 2 replies to my Evolution list posts. -- PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF Member, LEAF Project <http://leaf.sourceforge.net> AIM: MikeLeone Public Key - <http://www.mike-leone.com/~turgon/turgon-public-key.asc> Registered Linux user# 201348
