I have used MH for email since the mid 1980's. I have used EXMH has my mail client since it was first created. I can telnet/ssh to my mail machine from anywhere in the world and read my email and have instant access to all of it... I am completely in tune with typing 'repl -cc all' to the shell when telnet'd in, and I am completely in tune with typing shift-R when using exmh. It just happens from habit. I have replied to 'all' more than any other group. I find that I get a better 'default' to: list by doing that, and then editing it. It's just habitual... I am not literally saying "Just deal with in Brill", but am suggesting that everyone has to shape their world so that they feel comfortable. MH lets me specify whether the default is '-cc to', '-cc cc', '-cc me' or '-cc all'. I don't know much about the state of affairs in all these fancy pop-3 clients (mh lets me do 'inc --host' to do pop access). So, I am not sure what to suggest to you or others that have problems with reply and reply all. I can only suggest that this whole issue existed back in the mid 80's and was addressed, cussed and discussed at length. The current mode of sourceforge is what was in use then, and has been in use largely everywhere that I've participated on mailing lists. The exceptions being lists maintained by people who just appear to deal with mail differently, and who may not choose to have private conversations about list materials with the senders of personally interesting or controversial topics... ----- gr...@cy...

Not everyone uses the apps you do Gregg... For me, in Outlook Express (yes, I use it and like it) I get the sender and nothing else when I hit "reply". I get the sender and the list admin address when I hit "reply to all", with the list address itself in a CC field... it's a little wonky. it really is a bit of a pain, and since this is a development list, mostly what we have to say to one another is not private (it could be, but for the most part, it would defeat the purpose of the list). Anyway... I think we've all expressed our opinions on this subject by now... and since Ted is the list admin, he'll do what he pleases, and the rest of us (myself included) will just have to live with it. - Brill Pappin Rogue Robotics www.roguerobotics.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregg G.
