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

OK, apparently I'm used to non-standard mailing lists. If there were something consistant a filter could test for, then I could reduce the flood in my inbox somewhat. (This is non-trivial. I've caught myself starting to delete client e-mails because they were mixed in with mailing list messages.) And the suggestions on shortcuts in the Contact folder will give me a consistent way to respond to the list. Is it possible to ensure that php-db@lists.php.net is always in the To line? Or will that cause problems also?

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] -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
