Just because you've used some broken mailing lists doesn't mean others should follow in their example. This list works the way that just about every other list I've ever used does. The "to" address shows where the message went to (the list). The "from" address shows where it came from (the author). The "reply-to" address shows where replies should go to (the list). The one deviation from the bad is this list's "subject" line shows the subject, and doesn't have any other [crap] inserted. The from address shouldn't be the list, the message isn't actually *from* the list, it's just coming through it. > It makes it so much easier to sort out all the list email from all my > normal email. Back in the days of when I had a decent mail client (on the Amiga, by the way), I did what most people on mailing lists did. We sorted our list mail into different folders, one per list. Using something unique to each list. In this case, your best choices are the reply-to or list-id headers. You could also use the to address, although you can sometimes mis-filter a CC'd or forwarded message, that way. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
