As an aside, I wonder why your email client seems to be ignoring the

this and other mailing lists and only just noticed that doing so
resulted in a "To:" to you only and I had to manually adjust.


That isn't the correct way to do things. Reply is supposed to reply just
to the to address (or the reply-to address if that is present). To reply
to the list, you either want to do reply to all or reply to list. There
are disagreements on what is best there.

I think you miss my point....

If you look at the emails "From" me they show...

From: Ed Greshko <Ed.Greshko@xxxxxxxxxxx>
To: Fedora <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx>
Reply-To: "Community assistance, encouragement, and advice for using
Fedora." <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx>

And when you reply to that....I'm seeing...

To: Ed Greshko <Ed.Greshko@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Cc: Fedora <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx>

Which isn't what it should be and certainly not what happens with the
vast majority of posters..

You are probably getting a copy directly from me instead of through the
list. I think some of the fedora lists break reply-to by putting the
list address in there, which you really aren't supposed to do. When I
find lists like that, I often have a filter remove the broken reply-to
headers. Unfortunately when this is done on a list wide basis it will
break things for the people that have configured their clients to use
reply-to to direct replies back on to the lists in all cases.
(mail-followup-to is a better way to do this.)

I'll try to remember to go back and check the configuration of the various
fedora lists to see which ones if any, mung reply-to headers and make sure
I am not removing reply-to headers from any lists that aren't munging
the headers. The last time I looked was several years ago.

Well.... All I know is that yours is the only email/poster where I've
seen this behavior in a very long time.... So, I am more inclined to
expect your end as being the problem....
