I don't understand the argument that forcing "Reply-to" to be back to the list eradicates a list participant's ability to get the reply on their preferred email address. Presumably they replied to the list via this address. By forcing "Reply-to" to the list address, all subscribers should receive the reply in the way they specified when they subscribed to it. What am I missing?<br>

I personally really dislike being CC'd on lists im subscribed to I find it<br>
extremely poor netiquette of all the mailing lists im subscribed to OLPC's<br>
are the only ones that dont set replyto the list. It and the huge amount of<br>
cross posting on OLPC lists really irritate me. its a very standard convention<br>
to keep list mail on lists. if you need to take something off list then you<br>
should go through the steps needed to do so. i personally always use the<br>
reply to list option my client gives me.<br>
<br>
When i get CC'd i dont get the mailman email only the cc'd one which goes to<br>
different folders where i might not see the mail for awhile. It outright breaks<br>
my procmail recipes, because mailman correctly doesnt send me a duplicate<br>
email. I filter my list mail based on the X-BeenThere: header<br>
