# Yes! This has been driving me nuts for months on a half dozen lists I am
# on. I hit reply and enter, followed by cancel because the wrong address is
# in the reply-to, hit reply again, 'y' for reply to all recipients, do some
# surgery on the 'To' and 'Cc' lines to remove the incorrect 'reply-to' now
# in the 'To' line and to move the list address from a 'Cc' to the 'To'.
#
# This is a damn well _broken_ setting for a list to use. It makes what
# should be a simple and routine reply to the list into an absurdly complex
# exercise.
Lets take this off line... The situation is this... What you are talking
about is having all messages generated with a
Reply-To: usenet-format@landfield.com
I have been beat up over this before when I had it set to the list. People
didn't like every response, even private ones going to the list.
The majordomo setup here was changed to replyto = $SENDER a while back
after such a discussion. I never heard another thing about it. I just
removed the replyto setting so it does not insert a Reply-To at all.
This will not correct what you are talking about. It will also not correct
what John was complaining about either. A group reply will still work as
before generating a duplicate message to the author of the message being
replied to.
