What's even more interesting is that people don't check the headers before sending email.
Well, people are used to hitting reply to send a personal reply. Should people have to check the headers for every list they're on?
Most lists I'm on set the Reply-to: to the mailing list, and I've never seen even one personal message accidentally sent to the list.
Except for the one in this thread, right? Or did you not see that? ;) For the record, out of the 40 mailing lists I'm subscribed to only 3 of them perform reply-to munging. So...I'm not sure what lists you're subscribed to, but I find it odd that the statistics are so different. Almost as as for the other two lists which perform the munging, they are non-technical lists -- ALL other linux/development lists I'm on do not do this. Now, it doesn't really affect me, since I just set broken-reply-to for the wlug group, and it ignores the header, but I just like causing trouble so I thought I'd mention it. ;) have a nice day! -- Josh Huber
