Question

[Richard Morgan]

I have gotten into the habit checking the address that comes up when I hit the reply button.  If I intend a personal response, and the list's address shows up, then I delete it and retrieve the personal address from elsewhere in the email.  Doesn't take much additional time, just a way of thinking that I choose to believe is important.

No David, Avery is right...

Avery,

I'm not sure about the precise reason, because I don't have all the
information needed to answer that, but it's probably because of a
combination of reasons :
hen you send a mail, it is accompagned with a header which contains a few
information tags : who sent it, to whom, the subject, the date, which
server(s) it did pass by, antispam reports, etc...the [From] tag is
especially important, because it defines to whom the reply will be adressed.
But you need to be able to overide this, of you want a reply to your mail to
be sent to another address. an example of such a need is in a mailing list,
when you reply to it,you send you reply, not to the sender of the message to
which you reply, but to the mailing list, itself. Now, on your mail client,
there usually exist a possibility to set this reply-to field, which will
make no difference if it is set to the same adress than your [from] address,
except if you're writing to a mailing list which adds itself to the reply-to
field instead of replacing it.

Then the behaviour of this will depend on how your mail program is
configured, and probably also on which mail program you use.

Avery:

I think it has more to do with whether you click the "reply" button or the
"reply to all" button.

I'm curious. Why do people set up their e-mail so any response to the
comments
to the list go to them AND the list? Do they really need 2 responses to
their
posts? :-)

I've seen two like that today. Just wondering.
