The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Paul Menzel <address@concealed>]

Dear list,


thanks for all your replies.

David, did you get one message or two (indentical) ones from Dylan?

I do not know. But in my opinion, we do not understand each other.

It is not about that the Reply-To-header gets set.


1. I send an e-mail to the list with my MUA.

        My address is address@concealed, the list’s address@concealed and the Reply-To header
        is set to address@concealed.
        
2. You receive that email.

  a) You use an MUA (email client).
    i) You can hit reply-to-all. → To: address@concealed and CC: address@concealed
        Now I should receive !two¡ messages. One directly and one over
        the list.

→       Problem: I only received the direct message from David. There
        were no list headers set.  So my question is, if Sympa is
        filtering this or Google Mail. In Mailman this is configurable.

                Avoid duplicate copies of messages?
                
                When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers
                of a list message, you can opt to not receive another
                copy from the mailing list. Select Yes to avoid
                receiving copies from the mailing list; select No to
                receive copies. 
                
                If the list has member personalized messages enabled,
                and you elect to receive copies, every copy will have a
                X-Mailman-Copy: yes header added to it. 

   ii) You can hit reply-to list.¹ → To: address@concealed
        Now I only receive one message with the list headers set.

  b) You use the Sympa/Web editor.
→       What happens if you set reply to both. Is Sympa filtering the
        message and just sends me one message or do I get both.


So is this Sympas work and is this configurable?


Thanks,

Paul
