replying to list
in [General]

From: Nick Balestra on 21 Apr 2010 07:00 Not really i think, because by replying it just direct reply to the OP, while other systems like google groups for example by replying you just post to the list, and actually make more sense. the easy way is to hit reply and change the "to" into php-general(a)lists.php.net or reply to all and replace "to" with the "cc". I think the best practice is to take this 5 second to take care of this in order to avoid duplicate message to others. cheers Nick On Apr 21, 2010, at 12:45 PM, Karl DeSaulniers wrote: > Exactly. > :) > > Karl > > On Apr 21, 2010, at 5:38 AM, David McGlone wrote: > >> Maybe it's not how the list is set up, but instead how people are >> replying to the list. > > Karl DeSaulniers > Design Drumm > http://designdrumm.com > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php >

It makes sense really to me, as the email is coming from the person who wrote it, and it's behaving as if we're just bcc'd in as a list. I think the fault is with the email clients that don't understand mailing lists. Incidentally, I saw someone mention the Evolution email client in this thread. It's what I use, and it does have a reply to list option (but I tend to be a bit lazy and hit reply to all as the option is in a menu and not on the toolbar :-/ ) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

One would think that in a tech world where most programmers/developers try to minimize the workload and "a good programmer is lazy" is seen as meaningful and/or true, more people would get annoyed with having to spend 5 seconds manually copying an email address from one field to another when there is in fact a solution to this problem (and has been for a very long time): proper setup of the mailing list with a 'reply-to' field. (and no, I don't think the possibilities of a misconfigured OoO/autoreply is worth the hassle to the amount of people using this mailing list - there are mail filters for things like that). -- <hype> WWW: http://plphp.dk / http://plind.dk LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/plind Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fake51 BeWelcome: Fake51 Couchsurfing: Fake51 </hype>

When someone uses it for a thread in which I am active and for a message to which I've responded then I generally get their response before the list sends it... not that the list is slow by any measure from my end.
