Re: [SQLObject] Reply to list (was: Search for Full Name)

[<ji...@ql...>]

FWIW, the other 3 Python-related lists I'm on all default to reply to the list.  I use a mixture of Outlook and Thunderbird.  Thunderbird has the 'Reply to List' option, but sadly, Outlook doesn't offer that.

   It is possible but I am not sure it is desirable. There are two opposite
ways of thinking about it:

   http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
   http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.html

   Most Python-related lists I know are setup without Reply-To.

   I personally on the "Reply-To Munging Considered Harmful" side, but I
must say I use a mail user agent (mutt) that has all 3 commands - reply,
reply to all, reply to the list. Also mutt allows to ignore Reply-To from
mailing lists, so I don't care too much.

   What do people think? If most people say they want Reply-To I can
change the list options.
