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
