Shorewall users - Jul 2003 - Reply-to and reply-to-all behavior

Hi, Tom:

When I hit "reply" on most lists, the message goes to the list. On a
few
lists, the message goes to the original poster and "reply-to-all" goes
to
the list. On this list, "reply" goes to the original poster and
"reply to
all" goes independently to the original poster and also to the list.

Is this behavior deliberate? Or could it be set so that reply goes to OP 
and reply-all goes to only the list?

Or am I missing something?

Mailman gives you two choices:

a) The way that it currently works.

b) Reply and Reply-all both just reply to the list (makes replying to a
non-subscriber a real PITA and makes it almost impossible if the OP had
a Reply-To: header).

Note that if you are annoyed by getting two copies of replies to your
list posts, you can change your list preferences to suppress such
duplicates.
