2) This one seems to be what is hitting a few people.
I am not sure why this
is happening... but for some people when I get an email from them and I hit
"reply", the "to:" address shows their email address AND the list. So
I'm
actually responding to both places and that's why they get two emails. At
this point I'm not sure if my own laptop has started doing something
squirrely so that hitting reply picks up the list address AND the senders
address, or if it has something to do with the list software, or if it has
something to do with the senders setup. But anyways, it just dawned on me
that more than a few times when I've hit reply to a post lately, I get the
original posters address and the list address, both in the "to" box. Odd.
I'll watch for it to happen again.
This is not your fault. As you may recall, we had this discussion about
half a year ago, and it boils down to people not configuring their e-mail
clients properly to obey the reply-to directive in the e-mail headers of
the list messages.
I tried to be list nanny for a short while and converted over a few
people, but got tired of it so now I just ignore it. It's not that big of
a problem, but it is annoying.
