Nut upsuser - Feb 2024 - Keeping the traffis on or off the list ?

I sometimes get replies that are directed only to me.

Oftentimes it is a sender "error" to not have used Reply to All, so I
direct my response back to the list. Rarely it is about something the
senders deem confidential, where a pointed reply seems to make sense
(overriding would be bad).

Other than that, I think the mailing list service we get from alioth comes
"as is", not sure we can configure much about it. Can check, but not
really
inclined to - let humans decide how to best post and what is correct for
each case :)

Jim,

I think this made more sense before, when the mailing list didn't *add* a
Reply-To that goes to the individual sender.

Since the defaults have changed, and there seems to be no option for
"don't add Reply-To" (see my previous email with links to
applicable documentation), I personally think the default should be changed to
reply to the list (which individual senders can still override).
