I tried this a while back and ran into problems sending/recieving email to/from tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org, if I recall correctly.
Any ideas?
The problem is, if people don't notice, or don't have their mail client set up to override this, the responses to your post(s) will go directly to you instead of to the list.
Riiiight - I see.
The people who *do* notice and/or have their client set up to override your reply-to, well, you get the idea. Your only hope, AFAIK, is that people will reply to your post with a cc to the list.
Yeah, no I can't rely on a solution from the sender.
Unless I'm *completely* misunderstanding you, which is a common thing for me, it's just not a Good Thing on mailing lists.
OK - maybe I'll have to switch to Mozilla from Netscape so I can use profiles - then I'll have one profile for sending/receiving from/to my business, and another for tlug.
I'm hoping that this response will not result in you making threats about coming to my house and doing me harm, which is what happened on another list when I questioned someone's use of this setting :-D
I don't think I'm confident enough in any of the concepts surrounding email to be offended. I might hurt you then realize later it was my stupidity not yours. : ) THis is all making sense about 70%. But when I post to the list now, I get replied to the list, not me. So, why, if I change the Reply To address will the sender at the other end now send to me not the list?
