If we get 3 'ayes' I'll switch it over that way for a week, and then y'all can decide which way you'd prefer it permanently.
aye, and for the devel list too!
Is it too late to vote nay?
I'm not in favor of making it extremely difficult to reply to ML messages privately.
I vote Nay as well, exteremly strongly.
this causes data loss, particularly annoying if I were to explicitly set the Reply-To: to be something like both the list and me in case I want an immediate reply and I'm on the list digest.
Also if someone accidently sends an email it is better that accidentally spam one person not the whole huge group of people on the list.
mail clients like mutt and others support Reply to list Reply All is also works well enough in just about every mail program there is.
I'll try and do a search and get back to you with a more thorough explanation of why setting the reply-to is bad.
If you wanted to give in to user demand for this on the user list I wouldn't be happy but I wouldn't be surprised but I would be particularly dissappointed if you went with it on the developer list.
