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?
Mark
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.
I'm on about 10 different mailing lists NONE of which completely hide
your address, and I have NO spam that comes in. I handle all my spam
at the MTA rather then the MUA. So all I'm saying is for some spam is
a way of life... it's a necessary evil.... But there are ways to avoid
it.
