Hi all,
It appears that recently the mailing list server has enabled reply to
munging. From previous discussions (about 2 years ago) it was decided not
to do this reply to munging. What I want to ask is do we want to
reconsider this decision, or do we want the reply-to munging be disabled
again?

The reply-to was set in almost all mailing lists with the old server. During
the migration I kept the Reply-To for all lists, I didn't notice that
gentoo-dev wasn't using it.
I agree that reply-to munging is a bad idea and I tried removing it from
gentoo-user receiving a lot of flames because of that, see also this bug for
something related about this topic:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82887
I'm prefectly happy with removing our reply-to header (and leaving
user_defined one if any) if the userbase of this ml is happy to deal without
it.
Cheers

Starting a poll on *forums* about a *ml*, no thanks :). Hope you were being
sarcastic. I'm open to suggestions other than the "remove the header and let the
flames come" option which unfortunately looks like the only one to me and
despite being "right" in many regards I fear it will cause the havoc that
we've experienced on gentoo-user.

It also changed for the many smaller lists like -core, -nfp, -trustees,
(basically all). Perhaps it could be changed such that only -user has the
munging.

I vote for removing them. As stated in the bug, it is really annoying
to have to copy and paste the sender's address when you want to reply to
only them. This applies to -core, too.
Personally, I think they should either be unset by the list software,
or, if possible, stripped.

One problem with that approach is that someone who does not like the
change is far more likely to send a 'complaint' than someone who likes
the change is to send a 'thank you'. I suspect that such flaming often
comes from a vocal minority and does not represent the views of the
majority of list members.

I normally have to consciously think *click Reply, not RTA*, I for one

If anyone's inconvenienced though, I'm sure I can dig up some procmail
recipes (and similar scripts) to remedy the situation, as we had the
same issue on the Humbug[1] mailing lists some time back.

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
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
behave differently. It gets a tad old deleting multiple emails that are
identical. This is even worse, as using procmail recipes to match on
the message ID generally ends up dumping list mail in my personal
mailbox.
Why can't mailers just show a nice little Reply-to-List button when it
sees that you're reading an email from a mailing list?

Try that on any of the technical lists (any of the kernel or debian
lists, for example) and you'll get screamed at -- there you're expected
to send to the poster and Cc: the list. But then, those lists don't
require subscriptions to post.

Reply to List hasn't even worked properly for me since switching to the
new server or whatever. It duplicates to @gentoo.org and
@lists.gentoo.org. I'd guess this has something to do with people
sending to @gentoo.org when the list thinks it's @lists.gentoo.org, and
it never gets things figured out.
Thanks,
Donnie

I noticed that. It took me a couple of double-postings before I fixed it
on my end with a procmail recipe. Pardon the strangely-wrapped line. I
figure most of you can figure it out.

Which client are you using? I use kmail which works correctly.

That's totally understandable on lists that don't require you to be
subscribed. All the Gentoo ones do, that I am aware of.

And just how many mail clients support reply-to-list (which in and of
itself doesn't have well defined standards and is not adhered to in any
specific way by the myriads of mailing list software packages out there)?
Not very many last I checked.
Best for now to deal with whether you want Reply-To to be altered or use
Reply-To all.

Well... someone should tell the Thunderbird people that... I'm still
hunting for the "Reply To List" button, and I've been looking for months.
Actually, some mailing list managers actually are intelligent enough to
not forward on an email if you're CC'ed. (Mailman comes to mind) I
agree, having messages sent in duplicate can be annoying, but its not
that hard to read one and delete the other. ;-)
Besides, normally I filter out the user's email address if I know
they're subscribed.

"L" seems to work fine great in mutt. I do not have the word "gentoo"
mentioned in my muttrc, but it properly got the address from the
"List-Post" header. I also tried it on a "List-Post:<mailto:gentoo-dev@gentoo.org>"
posting (that was CCed to @lists) and it was properly addressed to
gentoo-dev@gentoo.org.
Congratulations. There is at least one properly behaving mail client.
It will be known how proper if it sets the Mail-FollowUp-To: header on
this mail.

I don't really care, but out of principle -- don't touch the header is
my vote.

kmail used to work just fine for me, too. However, I definitely prefer
tracking lists as news, so use the gmane.org list2news gateway, now. That
still seems to work just fine.

What MUA are you using? I guess there's something wrong with your setup,
let's look at the headers:
List-Post: <mailto:gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org>
Reply-to: gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org
To: gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org
There's no reference to @gentoo.org and our main MX server is rewriting @gentoo.org
to @lists.gentoo.org every time. Are you seeing @gentoo.org in those headers
in the messages you are getting?
Bye

That would explain why I don't get dupes at work... ;]
No, it isn't hard. It just really is annoying. The truth is that I
would rather have the duplicated messages than not be able to
"Reply-to-Sender", so I'll deal. ;]

Something has changed recently. I'm no longer getting both.
If I go back to a post from April 2 and hit reply all, I get @gentoo.org
and @robin.gentoo.org.
Today, I only get @lists.gentoo.org.

Well yeah that was the old configuration, everything was fixed some time ago
and I assumed that you were talking about recent messages.

I was talking about recent messages. Our definitions of recent are just
different. =)

Is there an extension for Thunderbird to add a reply-to-list function?
For the record, I clicked reply instead of RTA out of habit. I guess I
just came to expect reply to go back to the intended audience (the list
in this case). Similar to (most) business users expecting replies to be
at the top of the email instead of the bottom.
