When in response to questions of mine, googleable knowledge is being lost. When sent as a follow-up question to an answer I've posted, there is a risk that I won't notice it was sent to me privately, and the original inquirer won't get further help. Both seem bad outcomes, though less bad than the possible consequences of `Reply-to' header munging :-) In the mail lists I've administered, I've had some success in addressing the problem by including a `Reply All' reminder in the list footer. So, instead of including the text > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode at the foot of each post, how about: > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode Best, Brian vdB
