[Koha-devel] Misconfigured lists?

[Indranil Das Gupta]

The "reason" is probably that reply-to header munging is turned off by
default in GNU Mailman and we continue to use that.

>From the mailman 3 docs:

//The Mailman developers, and I believe the majority consensus is to do no
reply-to munging, under several principles. Primarily, most reply-to
munging is requested by people who do not have both a Reply and Reply
All button
on their mail reader. If you do not munge Reply-To, then these buttons will
work properly, but if you munge the header, it is impossible for these
buttons to work right, because both will reply to the list. This leads to
unfortunate accidents where a private message is accidentally posted to the
entire list.//

Older m/l etiquette (read 15 - 20 years back) were fairly strict about
reply-to header munging, top posting, thread hijacking, excessive quoting,
replying to the whole digest and so on :-)

Just my 2p.
