The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

RESENDING : Forgot to send it to the list. I alos fix a message bug. ;)

Indeed. My brain must be due for overhaul. :P

sympa-users is *not* set to reply to all. Therefore:

1- the Reply-to header is not set
2- You client uses its default behaviour, which to answer to the original sender and not to the list.

I had no idea Evolution was able to use the mailing-list specific SMTP headers. That's one point for this client.
I'll check whether Thunderbird can, too.

Cheers,

Dear David,


thanks for your answer. (It was put into the Spam-folder by Google
Mail :( ).

Sympa sets up the "Reply-To:" header when sending the message.
    

Looking in the headers of the messages, I cannot find this header. Just
“In-Reply-To:“.

  

The values this field will contain are defined by the list config
parameter reply_to_heade. see snapshot attached.
If set to "list" replies will be sent to the list only. If set to
"sender", the reply will be sent to the sender only. if set to
"both" (which is the case for address@concealed) ,replies are setnto
both the sender and the list.

A client fair to the SMTP specification will use this field to create
a reply to the message.
    

It is strange then, that the answer from Cefiar just had the list as the
addressee and yours both. I think it is the Mail User Agent (Thunderbird
in this case). You probably hit “Answer to all” and Cefiar “Answer to
list” (in Evolution Ctrl + l).


Thanks,

Paul
