If someone posts a question, how do you know if they have received an answer yet? I would say that for questions I've posted, well over half of the replies were off-list. Many of those times, someone had already answered me; the second poster could have saved their time if they knew that an answer was already given.
Look, the simple answer to this is that all decent mail reading software gives you the choice to either reply directly to the poster, or to the poster and the list, or to the list.
How do you do that in mozilla? How does the MUA know which adress is the one from the list? As I see it, when replying to the mailing list I have two choices: "Reply", which in case of this email would be Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au>, or "Reply All", which adds Ed Leafe <ed@leafe.com>,Martijn Pieters <mj@zope.com>,zope@zope.org as CCs. Since I mostly just want to reply to the list, there's always manual work involved (which I'm doing now, in order to spare all the participants in this thread the extra mail), either deleting the wrong adress and manually typing zope@zope.org in the first case, or deleting all the adresses where I don't want to send the mail to, and changing the "CC:" from zope@zope.org to a "To:". So, just out of interest, am I missing some feature mozilla is offering me? cheers, oliver
