RE: [ML ISSUE] reply-to field ?

I am forwarding previous answers.... and adding that I do not want to pop
these mails since I suscribed lots of ML, not only debian ones, and it is
more convenient for me to read&write from gmail than poping 3 times (work -
home - laptop) thousands of mails.....

Yes this is a feature. Most folks like myself have a MUA (mail client)
that has a 'reply to list' feature, that replys ONLY to the list. Other
clients require you to use 'reply to all' and then remove yourself etc.
This is issue is discussed about every 6 months by new folks to the
list. I'm sure if you google with 'site:list.debian.org reply to list',
you may find the numerous threads on this subject.
