RE: [PHP-DB] Mailinglist "Reply-To" field

On 2000-07-20, Brian Neal stated: } Indeed, this is such a pain. I have no idea why the "From:" header just isn't } set to the list address, considering this is where the messages come from in the } first place. For those with only primitive filtering cababilities, this would } be a godsend. Well, there's hardly *any* mailing lists that show the list address in the "From:" header - only in digest lists could this be possible [otherwise, how would you know where the message came from??]. I've been running ~20 lists for the past 4 years [as well as subscribe to about 50], and the typical standard is to list the To: header with the list address [since the e.mail is going *to* the mailing list], with the From: header showing the person who posted the message. In my lists, any other address in the header is stuck into the CC: header [ie: if a message is CC'd to my list and 4 other people, I put my list address the To: header and the rest of the addresses in the CC: header; i do not use a Reply-To header except for one moderated list i run]. If the php lists could always list the @lists.php.net in the To: header, then I think the folks who have been complaining would be happy. /vjl/ [aka listmanager@cullasaja.com]
