Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else happens to be using Mozilla Thunderbird
and
seeing this behavior, and also if this behavior is a feature or a
bug.
When I hit the reply button to respond to a message most of the time
the
actual sender's address is the one the message is being sent to
rather
than the list itself. This is the first mailing list I've been on
that
I've seen this behavior; all other lists I'm on when one hits the
reply
button, or CTRL+R the mailing list's address is inserted as it
should be
and is expected.
I know with some email clients there is a menu item specifically
there
for responding "to the list" based on whether or not there is a
list-header in the header information but that isn't an available
option
with Thunderbird. Is anyone else seeing this behavior or is there
something I'm missing?

It's not specific to Thunderbird or any other mail client. I'm pretty
sure it was configured that way on purpose. Have a look at this
thread:

well, obviously since the issue still exists it's clear that this never
got resolved. I just don't understand the obstenant behavior of some
folks in the presence of clear and plain logic. Especially from a
programmer. Makes no sense at all.
Guess I'm off to create the necessary recipe for Procmail to do the
adult thing and make sense of the non-sense.
I use Thunderbird 2.x on Kubuntu and I just hit reply to this mail. I
have news.php.net setup as a news account. I do receive and have
received frequent timeouts contacting the news server though. Has been
a pain for quite awhile.

That's what I also do. :D I have thunderbird 2.x on Fedora 8. So, it
works. :)
by the way... I thought everyone would be rather interested to know that
because of the way the list is setup and running at the moment and "not"
hiding the senders email address, it's extremely easy to harvest
addresses from messages. That means that if someone got infected or a
spammer, scammer, etc... ever subscribed to the list it wouldn't be any
trouble at all to get list members' addresses.
It took all of 10 seconds to grep the imap folder where all the messages
I get are stored for the From: header and out popped everyone's address.
Just another reason to hide the sender's address and use the reply-to
header.
