I hate getting duplicate emails, especially ones that don't have a List-Id: header to properly sort the mail (like the Cc'd mail wouldn't have). In fact I already write a Reply-To: header myself on all lists to make sure this doesn't happen. > >>The way it's configured now makes it very difficult to notice > >>own's replies in threads. > > > >Why? the From: field doesn't change, you're still the author of > >your reply. > > e-mail clients use From: only when there's no "Reply-To" The > "Reply-To" header means: "instead of replying to my from address, > please reply to here".

OK, there are a couple of mailing lists on this very server that are open to anyone just have a look at for example video4linux-list@xxxxxxxxxx to see the amount of spam. But anyway fedora lists are not fire-and-forget. If you want to participate you will have to subscribe, and since we know that everyone is subscribed, we don't have to care about replying to external participants. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
