"Dan's proposal is intrinsically flawed. It incorrectly assumes that the sender can reasonably anticipate the recipient's needs in replying to the message, and that such needs can reasonably be lumped into either "reply" or "followup". It doesn't solve the real problem, which is that responders need to think about where their replies go. Mail-Followup-To won't decrease the number of messages that go to the wrong place."But you can at least tell people if you want or need a separate copy in addition to what gets sent to the list. People who don't want separate copies should be setting mail-followup-to. Even if not all mail clients support it some do.
Bruno, did you read the objections raised in that link I provided? I know how Mail-Followup-To works. I also understand there are unresolved problems with it. Here's that link again: http://pm-doc.sourceforge.net/pm-tips-body.html#replyto_header This will be my last post on the subject, but please consider that MFT is *not* a standard (and as far as I know hasn't shown up in an RFC since the late '90s), supported by only a handful of MUAs... And the (default), polite course of action has historically been not to CC folks in mailinglist posts.
