So, whats the best way to do this? Either you: 1. mangle the from address to be the list, but leave the reply-to (which is blank or specified)
So you can't tell who sent what mail? If there's one header that shouldn't be mucked with, it's definitely From. Worse, you completely lose any chance of contacting a person off list in the off chance that there really is something private to say.
2. mangle the reply-to address to always be the list 3. change all mail clients to respond to lists differently, with the default reply button.
4. Do what the ubuntu-users list does and add/append (don't simply replace) the list's address to Reply-to. This solves the technical problem of "reply-to gets lost," and keeps people on the list (that don't set reply-to) from getting dupes from non-Evo-enabled posters (since everyone else uses pretty much has to use reply-to-all). Of course, the other problem with reply-to is that you end up with those vacation agents sending their updates to everyone on the list ;-) Anyway, this is a flamewar waiting to erupt, so I'm done with it. I'm happy with how the list is setup, and I'm super happy that Evo has a working Reply-to-list command. mike -- Michael R Head <burner suppressingfire org> GPG: http://www.suppressingfire.org/~burner/gpg.key.txt (ID 23A02B1F)
