[Ironruby-core] Reply-to address

[John Lam (CLR)]

There's a couple of points of view on this:

Con: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

Pro: http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml

I personally like the current behavior where a Reply will reply to the original poster vs. a Reply All which will reply to the original poster + the list. This will, of course, spam the original poster on a reply all.

But if enough folks hate this (folks on 'my' side please speak up! :)) I'll flip the switch on the mailing list.

Thanks,
-John

Hi,

Sorry this might be a bit off topic, but... I'm not sure who to address
this to.

I've noticed that when trying to reply to a thread that my email client
wants to send the reply to the personal email address of the sender,
when in fact, I think it should instead go to the list.  That is, the
"to" field in the message is the personal address of some person, with
the list being cc'd only when I click on Reply All.

I'm only experiencing this behavior on the ironruby-core list, and I've
noticed that messages from others are also having the same issue.

I think it could be fixed by adding a reply-to field for all messages
sent out by the list, so that when I click on Reply the "to" field in
the message is ironruby-core at rubyforge.org<mailto:ironruby-core at rubyforge.org>

Can somebody fix this?  Do others think this is needed?

Regards,
Tony
