I would very much agree, plus I have the followin problem with having the= =20 list address in a Reply-To: When I hit "Reply All" in Evo, it sends e-mail= =20 both to the list, and to the person who asked the question. 1. The person receives two replies, one sent to the list, and another sent= =20 to him. This tends to annoy a lot of people. I am used to this, so it's ok= =20 by me, but others aren't as forgiving. ;) 2. The other person hits "Reply" instead of "Reply To" and the rest of the= =20 conversation takes place between me and that person, completely omitting=20 the mailing list. 3. If more people answer to this conversation hitting the "Reply to all",= =20 after a little while ALL THOSE PEOPLE'S ADDRESSES end up being in "cc".=20 That is extremely counter-productive. Overall -- I think the whole "mangling-is-harmful" rant is just silly=20 purism, nothing more. I am all for putting the list address in the=20 Reply-To field.
