On Mon, 17 Apr 2006, Victor Brilon did have cause to say: > This war has been fought many times over the years: > http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html > > Arguing about it at this stage of the game is equivalent to flame > wars about the superiority of emacs vs. vi. http://starboard.flowtheory.net/blog/?q=node/17 is the other side of things, as applied to the mod_python techincal archival list (vs the original, which seemed more oriented towards a group/social list.) FWIW I'm all for reply-to mangling when appropriate. (Basically my rule of thumb is that if I don't control the clients in use, and I do want the discussions to default to public, I mangle reply-to. Alternately, if you want to argue with me about reply-to-list and such, I'll need clients for 6 platforms that can understand and use that header. List available upon request.)
