Quoting Gary (saclug@garymcglinn.com):
I just noticed that a lot of replies to my comments don't have the list copied. So, the list doesn't see them and I can't reply to the list without explicitly adding them. I don't think this is the intention of the respondent.
So, isn't about time those people learned there are _two_ reply commands, and what each is for? (This doesn't count occasional extra, specialised modes, such as the mutt 'L" command Brian alluded to.)
I don' see this issue with other list.
Despite the IETF's ruling 21 years ago, it's common to see forcing ("munging") on mailing lists dominated by technophobes. So, if you're not on tech-heavy mailing lists, standards-compliant e-mail may be unfamiliar.
I guess there is some diversity of opinion on how the list should work.
Sure. You versus the experts who define SMTP standards.
Meanwhile, learn to use reply-all on mailing lists (reply-sender to depart from a public thread into private mail), as it's always appropriate.
