The argument being put forth in opposition to my suggestion is that this mistake is less harmful than the counter example, where somebody intends to send a private message but just hits reply (if the reply-to were "munged" as I suggested) and it gets sent to the whole list. It's my opinion that this is a rare exception and people who want to send a private message will be cautious enough to ensure that they do not accidentally send it to the whole list. Clearly, there has been significant debate over this. > > I'm all for reply-to personally (I hate having to change the send list > back to the mailing list), but it's not my list which is why I've not > said anything yet (unless I did and forgot). > > TB > -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://keys.gnupg.net
