After getting some help from MS about this, I think it's possible
some admin
settings for this list may have recently changed.
On all the other lists, if I hit Reply All, my mail program correctly addresses
the reply to everyone in the headers.
But on the User list, if I hit Reply All, it does not always reply to the
sender. It replies to the list, and to everyone in Cc. But often it does not
address to the From header. MS tech support says that lists can be configured
in a lot of different ways, like for example, some mailing lists don't let you
address individual subscribers - only the list. So maybe something has changed
recently?
Plus, there has been an downright outbreak of people addressing their
message to
2 different addresses, which for some reason, both work. Why would people be
doing that all of a sudden? When you subscribe to the mailing lists, only one
address is
given(lists.sourceforge.net ). So how do people even know about the
2nd address. I wonder if some admin changes (accidentally or otherwise) might
have happened?
- It's because they answer into the same thread, only change the title.
Someone added both addresses in at some time, and many people are
reusing that thread for their new threads.
It's not a big deal to just remove one of the two addresses (.sf. or
.sourceforge.) from the 'reply' fields (of course, how easy it is
depends on the software you use for writing your emails - some have a
low discoverability, obviously.)
After randomly checking several messages, I see that the
lists.sourceforge.net
address is always first, and the other,
lists.sf.net is always 2nd. Could that
2nd address somehow be added automatically?
- No, this can be controlled by the user who sends the message. Of
course it would be good if sourceforge could somehow filter the
duplicates out, but they don't, and mailing lists are on the list of
things that will be moved 'soon', so I wouldn't bother too much with it.

Maren

Yeah, I just realized something weird is happening. This is a slightly
different version of Windows Live Mail than on my old computer, so I've gone for
help with MS tech support (which is shockingly less than helpful, most of the
time). Hopefully I can at least get a clue.
Thanks :-)

Hi Brynn,
where to find the list of 'all' recipients depends on your email client.
I see it right at the top of an email, after I hit 'reply'.
Maybe you'd need to activate some kind of 'verbose' or 'full' option
in
your email program.
Regards,
Maren
