http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml I think that this sort of munging would be a good idea. Duplicate replies bother me, and that's the default behavior for a list such as this one. Howver, don't flame me about it, just read this essay for an alternative point of view to "Reply-to Munging Considered Harmful", which I'm sure you've all read. --- Even if you can deceive people about a product through misleading statements, sooner or later the product will speak for itself. - Hajime Karatsu On Fri, 18 Feb 2000, John E .

I wonder if kmail (that's your mail client right?) has a feature like mutt (the mail client I use) does. With mutt you can reply to a list serv and it will automatically change the " To:" feild to the address you setup as the destination for that mailing list. If anything you could look into running mutt until the listserv changes otherwise. > > Not the answer you were looking for but at least it's a viable solution ;) > > Or you could setup procmail on your machine to rewrite the "From:" or "Reply to:" headers for any mail sent to the gimp list as showing From/reply to as the listserv. > > > > Hello, > > > > if I want to answer some posting, I normally want it to go to the list, but > > because the list is not the sender and an "reply to" isn't set, the mail is > > addressed privately to the sender.
