Hello:

It seems to me -- and to my listowners -- that majordomo's
default reply
behavior (to the sender rather than the list) is
counterintuitive for a
discussion list, where it is expected that replies will be
contributions
to the discussion.

Is there a way to change this default behavior in (in order
of my
preference):

* the sendmail aliases
* the majordomo script
* each list's config file?

Someone commented recently that most email programs have a
"follow-up"
function. I use pine when in UN*X, and Eudora, Pegasus, and
Netscape in
other environments, none of which has a "follow-up" function
and only one
of which (Pegasus, which is wonderful in many other ways as
well) gives
me the kind of control necessary over where replies go. I
want it to be
*very easy* for people to reply to the list, and not too
hard for them to
reply to the sender when that's appropriate. At the moment,
it's exactly
the opposite: hard to reply to the list without also
replying to the
sender (which is redundant given that the sender's on the
list), and too
easy to reply only to the sender.

Cheerio

Hi. This is all very interesting. Something like that.
