Hmmmm... seems to me, running Pine as I do, that the "reply to"
issue, in my particular case, breaks down to laziness on my part:
Two keystrokes to set up a reply vs. replacing the Original Sender's
name with the list name. And I'm sure I could automate it but... why?
If I had my druthers, I'd vote for the "old" way, however it's
almost a non-issue with me, and it even provides for a little
'breathing room' right before I blast off a piquant reply that, in
the fulness of time, may or may not have been a little rash.
NOW, FURTHERMORE:
In all this discussion of the New Classiccmp regime... I would
like to weigh in with Allison on the issue of HTML and Binary
attachments propagated to this List.
I belong to 6 other lists besides this one, and four have some kind
of HTML filtering and binaries-rejectors. I dislike, and delete
unread, HTML stuff, because this is an ASCII list and I engage it
with an ASCII mailreader. Yes, I have PPP accounts and Netscrape and
all the rest, but my central (and voluminous) corespondence is
carried on Pine under a Unix shell account, and I ain't changin' it.
[I offer Kevin Murrel's post above as a non-rancorous example]
IMHO, it does little or no good to try and 'police' the issue
case-by-case, due to the influx of new members and existing members
forgetting or not caring. Most folk here are pretty sensitive to
this, I have found, once made aware that HTML is displayed in it's
raw state for many of Us. And I think it's much prettier cooked. It
does seem to be a losing battle in the long run.
If this instance of majordomo has such filters, I, for one, would
like to see them energized....
Cheers
John
