Reply-to-All is evil. You should be using Reply-to-List. I know that I |

sure don't need to get the same email both on and off-list. Off-list |

emails should be reserved only for when you explicitly do not want to |
11 |
send to the list and only to the original email's author. |

It is bad enough that we have so many different mail clients that all |
14 |
behave differently. It gets a tad old deleting multiple emails that are |
15 |
identical. This is even worse, as using procmail recipes to match on |

the message ID generally ends up dumping list mail in my personal |
17 |
mailbox. |

Why can't mailers just show a nice little Reply-to-List button when it |
