Hello everyone!
I would like to get everyone's input on how they would feel if we
changed the settings for this list to "Reply to List" instead of
"Reply to Sender". The list is currently set for "Reply to Sender"
which means that when you reply to a message posted to the list, your
reply will go directly to the person who posted the message. "Reply
to List" means that when you reply to a message posted to the list,
your reply will go directly to the list. (Some email programs have a
"Reply to All" option where replies are sent to both the sender and to
the list. You might want to check yours to see if you have this
option.)
These are the reasons why I think it would be better if we changed the
list to "Reply to List":
1. When someone sends a query, everyone can see the responses sent,
which can open news doors for others. Without "Reply to List", unless
you ask, you never know if a person got a response to their message or
what kind of valuable info it might have that no one else can see.
2. "Replying to List" makes for a more informative archive when the
answer to a big question goes to the list. What good is an archive
that contains only questions?
3. A mailing list is supposed to be a group of people having a
discussion where everyone can participate. "Reply to list" seems to
be more consistent with that mission.
I look forward to getting everyone's input and please, don't be shy!
