Okay, I've converted the list to 'reply-goes-to-list' Bryce On Thu, 19 Feb 2004, Ted Gould wrote:

It's been a bit over a week since we switched over. Hopefully folks have had enough time to form an opinion on it, or voice their position. So to get a concensus on this, if you have an opinion, please email me privately with your vote by March 3rd, whether to have: a) Reply-Goes-To-List b) Reply-Goes-To-Poster (i.e., use Reply-All to reply to list) If the voting is clearly one way or the other, we'll do that. If it's mixed 50/50 then we should probably discuss it a bit more. Note that this decision will *only* affect the inkscape-user list. Bryce On Thu, 19 Feb 2004, Bryce Harrington wrote:

Well, I'm not a develper but I am a user and it's inconvenient to have to copy and paste into a New mail dialog with the proper needed address in the To: line. If you change it back I guess that's the way it is but as Inkscape grows and if this is the only way to work with folks "in the know" then users will not appreciate the inconvenience of having extra steps to take in order to reply to each post that have interest in knowing more about. You might in the future want to set up a Developers and a Users mail list and in the Users mail list supply the direct address instead of having the reply to sending it to the last person that sent the responce to the mail list. Not everyone likes to have their mailboxes full of people that they don't know. I use MailWasher on WinXP Pro and if I don't know them then they get added to the "blacklist" which bounces the mail back to the sender!!

If you use evolution you get a reply to list option when you right click a message. Any other e-mail clients have this option? On Fri, 2004-02-20 at 19:54, MenTaLguY wrote: -- Danny L. Brow, CEO Full Motion Solutions Phone: 519.641.7193 E-Mail: fms@...14...
