Well, certian lists are set up as one way communication. The list
owner posts update and other notes to the list so everyone can view
them. If people have questions, they contact the author rather than
the list serve (as they do not have posting rights).

However, on discussion lists like this I don't really see the reason
to have default reply-to be the author itself. If anything, it
degrades the purpose of the server by making mroe information go
between two people rather than the entire list.

Anyone here ever work at a university? ;-)

The University of Wisconsin has a mail server that is supported for groups involving campus community members. That's what we're using.

It has been set up to not munge reply-to. The reasons for this may well be as described in http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

(thanks for the link, Bert), but regardless, that's the way it is.

I always reply straight to the person & then have to go back to cc the list. & reply-all means the person you are emailing gets two copies. I also notice there are some fragmented conversations (because of ppl replying straight back to the person).

Im sure there is a good reason, but if there's not, it kind of bites at times... 0.02 of course

I believe this list is set up that way on purpose. You have to reply all
to reply to croquet-user.
