general note: list mail and reply addresses

[Alexander Dalloz]

Hello all!

Since a few days I see more and more mails here on this list where the
reply-to address is changed to not have the list address. This is really
very uncomfortable to handle.

There are too a lot of posters with reply-to address set to both the
sender's address as well the mailing list address. This is because those
senders did set a reply-to address explicitly in their mail client. This
is not necessary in general (setting the reply to address), only if the
sender address and the reply-to address do differ. I doubt all these
posters with that set want to receive the mail 2 times, both with
personal address as well through list subscription.

Speaking for me, I want to get the mails just one time, through the
list. So settings like

                               To: 
fedora-list(a)redhat.com,
alexander.dalloz(a)uni-bielefeld.de
                          Subject: 
Re: iptables-restore v1.2.9: Line 13
seems to have a -t table option.

is nothing I prefer. Of course, if someone likes to send me a personal
mail, he or she is invited to do. But discussion is either a list topic
or personal intended.

Time to check the mail client settings? :)

Regards

Alexander
