reply to author VS. reply to list on this list.

[Beth Hatch]

Hi Sean,

I think some of this, replying to all or replying to author, has to do with
the software that is running the mail list.  Most mail list software will
let the administrator configure how replies are handled, e.g. whether
replies will as a default, go to author, or to the list.  For example,
replies to this particular list seem to go to the list itself, while on the
Gnome list, replies seem to go to their respective message authors.

Take care,

Beth

Perhaps this is a windows specific problem, but when I reply to this list,
replies go to the list whereas on some lists, reply goes to the author and
reply to all goes to the list.  What makes one list differ in behavior from
another in the reply format?  Do those of you who primarily post email to
this list from a linux based mailer  encounter this situation when replying?
