Thread: PGSQL Mailing List Reply-To field

Hi,

I'm currently subscribed to pgsql-general and wheneven every I hit
reply, I keep forgetting to reply-to-all so that my mail client includes
a cc to the pgsql-general list.

I keep doing this because I keep forgetting the Reply-To field isn't set
to the pgsql- mailing list.

I was wondering if anyone else thought it might be a good idea (or not)
to use this ?

Cheers,

Rob

Its not. You should probably just get used to doing reply to all.
If you want to reply just to the sender you can use reply to sender
on these lists but will have to go through some contortions on your
broken lists. I usually filter out reply-to headers on lists that
mung them so as not to break reply to sender on my client.

Or you can get a mail client that support "reply-to-list"
functionality.  I seem to recall hearing rumours that pine will do
that.  I know mutt does, because it's what I use.
