[Modeling-users] Reply-to header

[Sebastien B. <sbi...@us...>]

        Hi all,

  Some of you have asked if the reply-to header could be automatically
  set. I already replied that I won't, mainly (& shortly) because I
  agree with the why-it-is-considered-harmful arguments.

  However, there's no reason why you should not set it yourself if you
  want to. It seems that a very simple procmail rule can do the trick,
  see for example:

https://listman.redhat.com/archives/fisher-list/2001-February/msg00391.html
https://mail.fukt.bth.se/pipermail/crux/2003-June/000588.html
http://www.wecs.com/replytorc.htm

  I've never used procmail myself so I'm not able to post here the exact
  rule for the list, but if some of you try makes this successfully it
  might be a good idea to share with others. I'll probably add it to the
  welcome message of the mailing-list, then.

        Regards,

-- S=E9bastien.

After a few more clicks, I've got a little more on reply-to munging:
from an original post at:
http://info.ccone.at/INFO/Mail-Archives/redhat/Apr-2002/msg01860.html

I'm pretty sure that something like this should work (untested here
though, so if it works for you, please report):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
# modeling-users list
:0
* ^List-Id:.*modeling-users.lists.sourceforge.net
  {
    :0f
    | formail -bfi 'Reply-To: modeling-users <mod...@li...urcefo=
rge.net>'
  }
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(I guess -i is better than -A, sionce, according to 'man formail', -i
 preserves the original field, if any, by prepending 'Old-' to the name)

  Be sure you've read
  https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=3D6693&group_id=3D1
  and the links it holds before making up your mind ;)

Hum It's work fine except that after I post something
in a thread the default reply to will be the list not the
user . So it works for me but this will break the default
policy .

  Well, unless I misunderstand you that's exactly what it was intended
  for :) Since some of you complained about the Reply-To not being set
  for the list, this directive for procmail allows them to choose to add
  it on their own, and, yes, to break the default policy on their own
  configuration.

  So since it's impossible to conciliate the pro- and the anti-reply-to,
  at least with this, one can choose on which side one stands!

Thanks for testing. I'll add this to the welcome message of the list.

Noop, your reply-to is kept to yourself, Mailman probably restore
it...

KMail has an insant filter for this : right-click on a message from the
mailing list -> create folter on mailing list -> action -> set Reply-To
Header -> modeling-users...

Oh, ok, that's what you meant Jerome. No need to worry, in fact the
reply-to is just added to your local copy of the mail, but not copied
back in your replies, so others are not seeing this at all (mailman does
not play with it at all)

Good to know, thanks, I'll probably add this hint too.
