[Buildroot] mailinglist settings

[Heiko Zuerker]

Hey,

 

Would it be possible to set the "Reply-To" for the mailinglist to
buildroot at busybox.net ?

This way you don't always have to be manually changing the "To" when
replying to the list.

This is a normal setting for a mailing-list. If your mailer is correct,
it should have a "reply to list" option.

Well, I would not call that 'normal setting'. I too got annoyed in the
first place, that replying would send only to the OP, not the list.
After all, one could assume that replying to a post in a ML would by
default answer to the list.

But the policy differs on different MLs, because of different expectations
of the subscribed community and list managers.

Either way, I don't care, because I have a one-catches-all policy when
answering a post on a list, see below.

When replying to a post on a ML, I use "Reply All". This ensures that my
message:
- goes to the list
- goes to the OP, even if he/she is not subscribed
- gets noticed by a subscribed OP, even if his/her client automatically
  moves ML posts into folders.

Of course, from time to time, I may add new TO:s, or remove some, if I
need to make the message more prominent or not.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Well, it's the mailman default, and a pretty common configuration. It
has served us well ever since the seperate buildroot list was created
(in 2006), so I prefer to keep it this way.

Besides, there are good reasons for it:
