Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
The problem is the the mailer of this list is misconfigured:
That's your opinion, others disagree.
When you hit 'reply' mail is send only to the author. So you have to 'reply
all' delete 'to: [author]' and change 'cc: [mailinglist]' to 'to:
[mailinglist]' not very comfortable... I'd suggest to set 'reply to:
[mailinglist]'.
This is far from the only list I subscribe to where the default is to reply
to the author. If you do a little searching you'll discover why some lists
default the way this one does.
Besides, there are plenty of idiots out there who will default to
Reply-to-all regardless of the list settings. They're the biggest pain of
my life, both on lists where the reply-to is the mailing list and where it's
left alone.
Me, personally, I don't care which default a lists uses. The default used
on fetchmail-friends makes getting in touch directly with people easier when
it's required. The default used on other lists cuts down slightly on the
amount pointless email I get. No big deal either way.
Please don't CC me on anything sent to mailing lists or send
me email directly unless it's a privacy issue, thanks.
