Hello everybody,
I have had a request from a list member that I change the "reply-to" option
on geo-metamorphism FROM the current setting where replies by default only go
to the sender of the message and not the whole list, TO the replies by
default going to the whole list.
The thinking behind this is that discussion will not be closed down as it
tends to be at the moment, with list-members missing out on discussions that
they are interested in.
I suggest that we try this for a trial period unless a large number of people
disagree. At the moment the traffic on the list is fairly light and I don't
envisage this change will increase it that much. If you have a strong opinion
either way on this proposed change please e-mail me (not the list unless you
want to share your opinion with everybody) by the end of the week when I
propose to make the change.
Warning: One effect of this change is that people will have to be careful
when replying to messages from "Fred" which come via the list. They may think
that they are sending a confidential or personal e-mail to Fred, but unless
they change the reply options the e-mail will be broadcast to the list.
All the best,
Gawen (geo-metamorphism listowner)
