The problem is in the lack of standardization between mailing lists. |
| 38 |
I've gotten used to just hitting reply-all instead of just reply because |
| 39 |
a number of lists I'm on don't set the reply-to header like the Gentoo |
| 40 |
lists do. The first time I saw the too addresses in my recipients, I |
| 41 |
thought maybe one was some kind of backup list system, but then I saw my |
| 42 |
reply double-posted. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I'll try to keep an eye on what's going on in each list that I reply to, |
| 45 |
but I don't think this is really going to be solved until someone |
| 46 |
hammers an RFC on it down the Internet's throat. (But even that may not |
| 47 |
be enough. After all, Outlook Express never did use dash, dash, space |
| 48 |
to start a signature.) |
