Granted.
This makes replying a wee bit more error-prone since a lot of MUA's will happily reply to the poster instead of the list unless you manually cut&paste the right addresses. Is there a special reason this header isn't used ?Well, some consider it to be harmful: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
Thanks, I just read it. The thing is, I strongly disagree with it. This document states that "Reply to all" is the SAME as reply to a list. This is as false as can be. Personally I HATE it when people cc: me mailinglist posts. I read the list, I don't need to get separate messages in my inbox to get my attention. CC'ing posts is even considered rude by some... But if this is the way it is, okay. No problem Maarten
