Ha, you do a reply (r/R/whatever) to get back to the author or an *followup* (f/F/...) to get back to the list:)) So check your mailer how to do a followup... Ok, I see you guys want to avoid to get private responses. I don't [1], sometimes that is exactly what I want. Yes, I understand that many people don't know how to handle their mailers (no offense), and some mailers are crappy in that respect, but setting reply-to in listbots generates at least as much confusion as it helps. Suggestion: You could filter the different cygwin-mls into different folders (you probably do that already) and then tell your MUA to set your *individual* reply-to depending on the folder you are in. [2] Greetings, Jochen Footnotes: [1] I know, I get way less replys from the cygwin lists and then they are intended for me, not the list, whereas some of you guys have to suffer from people that think an individual is of more help than the list (that individual is actually reading:). [2] I can tell you how to do that in Gnus, but I assume that many mailers do have similar functionality by now. - -- Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit http://www.Jochen-Kuepper.de Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité GnuPG key: 44BCCD8E Sex, drugs and rock-n-roll -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6-cygwin-fcn-1 (Cygwin) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt and GnuPG <http://www.gnupg.org/> iD8DBQE8Ej+1iJ/aUUS8zY4RAkaGAKCzVbJj1r81l26fB4/oz396KVuqGgCfUe90 XVsPLPqg/59e/Ts5bBmCz5I= =h74B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
