Hi Duane, As I said in my last mail I am a newbie to Linux, although not to computers having used abused etc for nigh on 20 years. I personally would prefer to have the Reply-To set to the list, as all the other mailing lists I subscribe to are. It seems, if you will pardon me, illogical to receive an email from one source, only to click Reply and have it sent somewhere else. If the individual concerned wants to send to the original person only, then they can edit the Reply-To. However I do feel that the majority of replies will be of interest and/or relevance to the mailing list as a whole. As a newbie (and working in Technical Support) I abhore seeing a question asked, and then nothing more other than "Thanks it works!". My reaction to this is "Thanks WHAT works??" Please count this as one vote in favour of the change to the Reply-To. Kind regards, Julian -----Original Message----- From: wine-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:wine-users-admin@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Duane Clark Sent: 24 June 2004 19:28 To: wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Wine]Re: to the administrators Geoff Streeter wrote: > > What I do find offensive is the gratuitous adding of Re: RE: Ang: etc. > TCP/IP has one bit that says that the packet is part of an already > initiated conversation.

That change I would only make after a poll, rather than before. Again, I see this list as being for general users, and am inclined to let them determine the rules. I'll have to admit I have forgotten the reason why the list is done that way. I read the list via gmane, and it already sets the reply to the list, so it makes no difference to me personally. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
