But that's very configuration intensive. (Just as for the Reply-To
solution). "I like to be copied on wide-replies" tends to be a global
preference, it shouldn't need per-list configuration - just something
you set once in your MUA and leave be (maybe on very rare occassions
editing the header when composing an email, when it doesnt suit).
I'd still love a Foo-Copy-Me type header, much easier and clearer.
But seems I wont get it. :(
Well, as MFT is currently implemented, either it gets filled in by the
mailing list administrator (according to whatever the "list policy" is),
or by the original poster - something like
Mail-Followup-To:
me(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)example,list-address(_at_)list(_dot_)example
For a man who wants personal as well as list replies. But to provide that
funtionality conveniently requires the poster's MUA to be configured with
a list of known mailing lists, and how the MFT is to be formed for each.
It would be better if there were a couple of keywords so you could say
Mail-Followup-To: poster,list
and configure that for all lists you subscribe to.
That presumes the MUA generating replies can figure out what 'poster'
means (easy - use the Reply-To/From address) and what 'list' means (not so
easy if there is no List-Post field).
Actually, that is all beginning to look quite like the Mail-Copies-To
header sometimes used in News.
