[OSList] The Tyranny of Structurelessness

[Anne A Hiha via OSList]

Hi Harold

Thanks for that. It is no biggie, I like solving mysteries and this one is frustrating me. The tyranny of not knowing sits uncomfortably on me, and I am beginning to thing that the ether is taking over the 'reply' functions on my email. I did not have to paste the OSList address into this email, but for all 
the others I have tested (without actually pushing the 'send' button) I 
notice that there is no OSList address.  

Regards

Anne

Hi Anne,
The OSLIST messages are explicitly designed using a standard email "structure" of a "reply-to" field that goes to the list and to the sender. Most email programs use that field so when you hit reply it uses the requested list of reply-to recipients.
This reply-to field is really only a work "flow" recommendation and any email program can potentially ignore it. The OSLIST can't tyrannically force email programs to obey.
;-)
Regards,

Harold
