it's very unusual to everybody, kloschi, except the "mailing list mafia" 
who invent statistics to suggest that all mailing lists are so...

...right thinking people are quite aware that 95% of lists are "reply to 
list", but these misguided folks suggest alternative statistics that say 
that *all* lists are "reply to sender".

it is a lost cause -- in the meantime we're all berated for not using 
"ximian evolution" which has, because it is presumably written by folks 
that are similarly deluded, a button entitled "reply to mailing list"... 
so, consequently, right cannot prevail because we all have to succomb to 
the Novell conspiracy and change our perfectly good e-mail clients to 
keep these strange folks happy.

i've been there before -- in the meantime we just have to put up with it.

this is not community -- if it were community the majority would be 
asked for their opinion. as it is, everytime i ask it is a "done 
deal"... and I am pointed at the "archives" (where you will, incidently, 
find yet more upset people asking for "reply to list")

but they will not listen!
