What software runs this mailing list? I ask because I'd like to find out what it would take to get it to put the ML address into messages as the Reply-To address. I run a couple of lists myself (using 7-line SED scripts) and it seems like this (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) No no no no no no no!!!! I ABSOLUTELY hate mailing lists that do that; it makes it near impossible to reply just to the sender. --Ken (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) In my experience, one wants to reply to the list more often than just to the sender. Perhaps I'm wrong. In any case, anyone wishing to just reply to the sender would remove the list address from their outgoing message, and fill in the sender's (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Ditto. I find this *INCREDIBLY* annoying - because this is the only one of over a dozen mailing lists that I'm subscribed to that works this way. What ends up happening is that people *don't* politely edit the 'To:' lines - instead they hit (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

The observed fact that I get duplicate replies to nearly every message I post to this list suggests that even if that (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I think that people think it is a pain in the a$$, as there has been a post on this before, but it has been this way for a long time, and people are used to having to delete senders. I am not saying that I like to do this (I don't), but that people (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Doesn't "Reply to Group" only work with New Groups (NNTP), not e-mail lists? And don't ALL e-mail clients have a 'Reply To All' function? Can't you just do that and erase the recipient you don't want (in this case, the sender)? -- V (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Chris, The quick answer is that the list software you're using is called "ezmlm" (URL). A more complete answer, however, is that you're actually on a pure- mailing-list half of a bidirectional mailing-list-to-newsgroup gateway. That is, some (...)
