RFC-2076 is documentation, not prescriptive; in any case, section 3.5 does not conflict with my observations. I've already cited section 3.6.2 of RFC-2822, which is the standard upon which I based my observations. > See also all of the Draft RFC draft-meyer= > reqbehaviors-manager, which mandates that > end-to-end fields not be modified ... That draft no longer exists, and did not become a RFC. > Frankly, your headers indicate that your MUA > is Outlook Express version 6.00.2720.3000.

The sender is the list owner, not the list itself. A reply to all still requires that I delete the sender; it saves no effort as compared with simply typing the list name over the sender's name. (Many posters here are lazy and leave the original sender's address in the To: field, but I don't like to receive two copies of everything, and I presume others don't like that, either.) > Actually, you had to go a fair distance out > of your way to send a private message to a > mailing list, since you had to manually > add an address. No, I simply performed my usual operation of typing the mailing list address in the To: field. I have to do that for every reply to these lists. It required no additional effort beyond what I usually expend to reply to the list. However, I didn't deliberately send a private message to the list. I'm just so used to replacing that field for every single reply to the list that I do it automatically.
