The whole reply-to thing came up long ago. It's been argued again and again. Personally, I think email clients can make pretty good guesses as to what is a list email and what is a personal email and provide the appropriate "reply to" options. Email lists shouldn't bother with munging Reply-To fields, but Mailman is pretty smart about leaving a Reply-To field alone if it's been used by a list member for a specific purpose. Let's say I post an email prompting people to vote for something, and I set the Reply-To field to something like chewie+vote001 at wookimus.net. Now my procmail script can pick up replies to that address, as long as the Reply-To field hasn't been munged by the list server. <FLAME ON> Reply-To can be useful, but it should be used intelligently, not as a crutch for lazy email users. <FLAME OFF> -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
