I for one am for this. A few times I've sent mails directly to the author of a posting, and it's been a bit of an annoyance to 1. Create a new message 2. Copy/paste the address of the recipient 3. Copy/paste the context of the message 4. Finally type out the message. The author of that article makes a good point about mail clients. Any client worth its salt will have some sort of "Reply to All" feature. Bryan Ross daerid@gmail.com

Currently, the mailing list changes all the "reply-to" headers to the list's e-mail address. This forces all replies to go to the list and loses any custom e-mail address the sender may have added. I've read "'Reply-To' Munging Considered Harmful" <http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to- harmful.html> and now wonder if we should change our policy. (Unfortunately for me, I think I use that field from sorting my e-mail. So the list's e-mail should still be around in posts so I can sort them.)
