Is there a reason that everyone seems to send their replies to individual posters and only CC to the list?

The mailing-list is missing an automatic "Reply-To" header that usually exists on other mailing-lists. It makes things difficult when posting with improper mail clients like GMail.

I'll see if I can't fix this during the day.

Please don't.  Nearly no technical mailing-list sets Reply-To, and in particular neither the Arch lists nor the Haskell lists do.*  If it's really impossible to use mailing-lists with GMail (I don't know, I don't use GMail) then I guess you should find another client.  Some clients have a "Reply To List" specifically, and for those that don't, "Reply To All" or equivalent is usually acceptable enough (are there any clients that don't have this??) (it produces the effect Xyne notes of "Is there a reason that everyone seems to send their replies to individual posters and only CC to the list?", but this works out acceptably in practice because To and CC have the same effect - emails go there -, and because the mailing-list defaults not to send extra copies to people who are already To/CC'ed)

However, that's what is irritating me when people CC me rather than send to the list. The email client I use most often, Thunderbird, does have a Reply-To-List, however that only seems to work when the email has actually been sent through the list. The end result is that my Reply-To-List doesn't work when I'm CC'd. Very irritating that *I* have to pay the price for the bad practice of others. I'll look into the options offered by mailman and then see what looks like the best solution. I have to say I tend to lean towards the no Reply-To munging. /M -- Magnus Therning                        (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org          Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus         identi.ca|twitter: magthe
