[MLB-WIRELESS] Fw: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) ( anyone else get this? )

[paul van den bergen]

FWIW, I can't say I agree with this... solve the "problem" at the simplest 
point... which in this case would be the mail list server. not teh mail 
software.  lazy? lazy is good.

personally I would prefer the mail list to set reply to to the list.  but 
since they haven't I filter my mail to do so...  still causes problems though 
if I forward mail elsewhere.  still most of my discussions stay on-list...

I know we have had this debate adnausium, but since it is still a problem...

who actually doesn't want replyto set back to the list and why?  who has the 
final say?  I can;t think of a reason good enough to put up with the 
inconveiniece to members to warrent it... so help me out here.
