Folks -

As many of you know, we are migrating the focus of our communication
from the earlier forum mechanism to a simple group mailing list.

Begging your pardon, I am sending this message to test the reply
behavior of the list. The plan is that all replies to the list will
be broadcast to all members. If you wish to make a private reply,
you must take care to specify your recipient in the to: field. Also,
at least for now, this list will truncate messages greater than 80k
in length.

Once we have some of this administrivia out of the way, I hope to
send out a summary of current activities, release plans, etc. Please
stay tuned.

Dan,

On a Mac, running Mail.app, clicking on reply sends it to: private
email, not to the list.
You may still want/need to flip some more bits over there ?

Cheers,
--Jorge.

No - use the "reply all" button to reply to the list (right next to
the "reply" button).

Hi, Guys -

I'm travelling today (and totally traumatized about changing mailer defaults). I'm going to leave it this way right now, but I am inclined to make reply to all the default if there are no objections. So now would be the time to say if you want it left as is or move to reply-to-all.

Hoping to have something even more useful to say shortly

Well, I for one find it less embarrassing to send to someone
privately what was intended for the list (a mistake which can be
easily corrected), compared to sending to the list which was meant
privately (since it is out, you cannot take it back). This and other
arguments are discussed at:

http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

So IMHO the current setting is exactly right.
