Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Reply-To?

Hi :)
+1
to the point that conversations begun on the mailing list should stay on-list.

I really liked that i could just "reply to" this post and it went
straight to the list without also going to a selection of other
people.  That is the way this mailing list used to work all the time
and it prevented all sorts of problems.  The only 1 we had to watch
out for was making sure unsubscribed people were included.
Regards from
Tom :)
