replying to list (I give up)
in [General]
|
From: David McGlone on 21 Apr 2010 08:27 I give up. trying to reply to messages on this list is tedious. I can't pinpoint whether it's because the list is set up to make replies go to the OP or the OP has his reply-to in his mail client set, or most people are hitting the reply-to button instead of simply reply. It just doesn't make sense to me, why be on the mailing list if it hinders having a group discussion without having to jump through hurdles. It also defeats the purpose of being on a group list if replying sends the reply to the OP. Every message sent to this list, simply hitting reply should send back to this list and not the OP. -- Blessings, David M.
From: shiplu on 21 Apr 2010 08:35 The reply-to header should be changed to php-general(a)lists.php.net. I experience many dev list that are configured this way. So, in my gmail i change my habit to press "a" instead of "r".

Did you try "Reply-All" ? That usually does it for me. > It just doesn't make sense to me, why be on the mailing list if it > hinders having a group discussion without having to jump through > hurdles.

Then get a better email client if yours doesn't support "reply to all" or "reply to group". It's hardly the mailing list's fault that your client doesn't support that. -- Daniel Egeberg

Why change the way that has been around for years and adopted by multiple e-mail lists? It feels like it's more problem to change the way for thousands of users just to satisfy a couple of few. ********************************************** Hans à hlin Tel: +46761488019 http://www.kronan-net.com/ irc://irc.freenode.net:6667 - TheCoin ********************************************** 2010/4/21 David McGlone <david(a)dmcentral.net>: > I give up. trying to reply to messages on this list is tedious.
