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?
I'm not sure what trouble you're having so let's just talk about reply-to ... There are (at least) two styles of mailing lists: - some lists add a Reply-to: header to their outgoing emails so that all replies will default to the list - some don't TLUG is the first style of list. It adds a "Reply-to: tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org" header. If you're adding a "Reply-to: aitken-BwLjziHGQLusTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org" header to your TLUG emails then too bad, it's being stripped off ;-) Personally I much prefer lists that do not force the reply-to header. If I wish to reply to the list I simply say "reply to list" (L in many MUAs). If I wish to reply to the sender I just do the regular reply. Lists that force reply-to muck with the standard behaviour, if you want to reply privately you usually have to do a reply-all, then cut out the addresses that you don't want. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
