It will just get me in the habit of using reply to all, and omitting the senders name if I want to reply to the list. -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Williams [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 7:22 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Reply-To: header ? > Often that leads to a personal reply going to the list... Often? On this particular list? Really? This change will rob the discussion list of diverse perspectives on issues unless most Senders take the effort to copy'n'paste. This causes the majority of users to have to take an extra step to compensate for the very small number of instances where Mailing List Blushing Syndrome is an issue, at least on MSUNAG list. I hope this change will be reversed. Gordon Williams Counseling Center ----- Rich Wiggins wrote: > > This was brought up at the NAG meeting last Friday.
