You can encourage people to reply back to the list by including a Reply-To line in your headers, as I've done with this message. Some list software will filter the header, but a Reply-To in the copy of the message that's sent directly to someone will probably be respected by their mail client. Since you use mutt, you might find the following .muttrc lines helpful: lists freebsd-questions freebsd-current freebsd-chat send-hook questions@freebsd 'my_hdr Reply-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org' send-hook current@freebsd 'my_hdr Reply-To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org' send-hook chat@freebsd 'my_hdr Reply-To: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org' ... etc. This way, you can use the 'L' key to follow up to the list, the 'g' key to do a group-reply, or the 'r' key to reply just to the sender, and your headers will include the custom Reply-To for 'L' and 'g'. -- Paul Chvostek <paul@it.ca> it.canada http://www.it.ca/ Free PHP web hosting! http://www.it.ca/web/
