Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Subject: Re: ml config and Fwd: Re: [fw-general] Auth/ACL/Perms, Framework issues etc

Let's please not discuss this every few weeks. This mailing list is configured properly, and it provides all of the appropriate mailing list headers to allow a mail client to offer features specific to them.

If it is "configured properly" then why do people keep commenting that they don't think it is?

Reply should always reply to the sender, using either the From header or the Reply-To header, if it is present. If the mailing list mangles Reply-To, the sender can no longer use it.

It is the "Reply should always reply to the sender" part that I am having a hard time understanding. I believe that most people think they are communicating with the mail list and not the individual senders. Messages from the mail list come from the mail list, so most people consider it the "sender." It appears that most of the time when people respond to a message from the mail list -- they want to reply to the mail list, not the individual who posted the message.

That is why people keep commenting that Reply does not do what they expect -- reply to the mail list. Hope this helps clarify this issue for you.
