Re: [libreoffice-users] Reply settings on this list have changed

Greetings,
I hope this gets to the right place.  I used "Reply All" in 
Thunderbird.  The header looks correct, but people are going to get 
duplicate messages.
Here is another side-effect of this change:
Florian,
Right!  Yesterday, your changes broke my email filter which puts 
libreoffice user group messages in a specific folder. But then I changed 
the filter from looking at "Reply-To:" to "To:" and thought that would 
suffice.  Now, this morning I got 7 libreoffice messages in my correct 
folder via my filter change, and 4 messages direct from members in my 
main inbox, which my filter did not catch.  Your change may make it easy 
for you, but it is a nightmare for me.  There is no way I can create 
filters for all users who use their address.

My vote is to return the list to the way it behaved before you made this 
change.  This is "Anne-ology"'s Poll option #1.

I might also add, that the mis-addressed private message issue did 
happen to me many years ago, when I sent what I thought was a private 
joke message and discovered to my chagrin after sending it, that 
Netscape also added a newsgroup address to the header without my 
blessing.  You can imagine the impact of that.  It was not funny and I 
am still, after over 20 years, seeing that association come up now and 
then.  Since then, I verify where my email client is sending my messages 
before sending them.  Anyone who does not do so, is taking a chance and 
should not persecute others for their mistakes.
