Hello ALUG,
Usually when I'm sending messages to mailing lists, I set the Reply-To header to the mailing list address (as I've done with this message).
Most of the lists I subscribe to change the Reply To: to be the list address. I note ALUG does not do this.
How do people's mail clients respond to this? When you draft a reply, does it automatically make to To: main@lists...? Or does it make it CC?
Replying to your mail on the list sends to the list.
However, I find that many lists do not set the Reply To: field to the list and so if I do not take care my reply goes instead to the poster of the message I am replying to.
I'm trying the thunderbird "Reply to Mailing List" for this reply to see what happens.
