Re: Problems with Reply-to with [AD]

[Tom Grandgent <tgrand@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

The person quoted below recently informed me that this mailing list is not 
configured to use a Reply-To: header that points to the mailing list.  
This is possible (as seen in the Allegro and AGP mailing lists) but was 
decided against by whoever set the options for the list ages ago.  I think 
it was George?

Anyway, I would be happy to change this, but I want to give other 
subscribers the opportunity to object first.  The question is: do you want 
a Reply-To: header that is always set to "conductors@xxxxxxxxxx"?

Other "proposed" headers are not possible because they are not supported 
by the mailing list software being used.  (IMail Server, see ipswitch.com.)
