Of course there are also lists that work the other way, but the PHP list is far from alone.=20 --=20 Per Jessen, Z=C3=BCrich (17.0=C2=B0C)

The only other php list I am on is php-db. It doesn't have this behavior so I guess I'm just not experienced enough to know otherwise. -- Blessings, David M.

David: Whenever I want to reply to the OP privately, I use their email address. Whenever I want to reply to all, I use "PHP <php-general(a)lists.php.net>" I do NOT (usually) use any quick "Reply" or "Reply to All" options in my email program that sends stuff to everyone. Instead I think about what I am sending and consider if anyone wants to receive my email. Sure it's another step, but no more troublesome than trimming my email to the point or other such considerations to make my replies "on topic" and more readable. I'm sorry that you feel that doing so is *so tedious* that you are going to "give up", but consider the effort that is put forth by those answering you you should reconsider how much effort you are willing spend to make this list work. Sometimes things cannot be as simple as "Click". Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com

Hello Peter Lind, Am 2010-04-21 15:47:54, hacktest Du folgendes herunter: > And waste time every single time you post to the list ... why do > people become programmers/developers again?

Hmmm, being a Programmer/Developer since 1982 and have ever used decent tools to accomplish a task... including the right MUA which simplify the Programmers/Developers daily mailing tasks. > Anyway, if there's no chance of changing the minds of the people > administering the list, the discussion might as well end now. Why should Programmers/Developers bother with non-reliable MUAs which do not support Programmers/Developers daily mailing tasks? If YOU are a Programmer/Developer why do you bother with a non-suitable MUA?
