Strange behavior on the list

Strange behavior on the list

[Marc Fargas]

When you ask M$ Outlook to reply a mesage in the lists it replays to the
original sender nor the list itself. That shouldn't be that way, should?

Thanks ;)

There are *lots* of things about M$ Outlook which shouldn't be that way.

This also happens with Mozilla 1.5 on Debian/Sarge.

AFAIK, if "Reply-To" does not exist, it uses the sender's address always.

Not necessarily - if you use a *decent* mailer (like mutt on Linux) it
finds the
List-Post: <mailto:netfilter@lists.netfilter.org>
header and uses that to send your mail if you type "L" (list reply),
while a "R" (reply) goes to the sender of the mail you are replying to.
"U" unsubscribes me, and other nice features. Sadly only a few mailers
use the List-* headers.
