Re: [libreoffice-users] Calculate difference between two dates (with time)

Hi :)
It is the design of the mailing list.  It's designed so that people can't
just "reply to" in order to reply to the whole mailing list.  Clicking on
"reply to" makes the reply private so that it can't be seen by the mailing
list as a whole.

The only option offered by most email clients is the "Reply to all".  Some
specialist and rarely used email clients do offer a "Reply to group" but
that is rarely needed for any other mailing list or anywhere so people are
not used to using it, even if they are lucky enough to have the option
available.

This problem is compounded by the "Reply to all" putting the mailing list's
address in the "CC" field instead of the "To".  This means that almost
everyone is supposed to perform some dexterous cut&pasting for every single
reply which is a real pita on a hand-held device and is not entirely easy
on the most commonly used email clients.

I think a lot of us have complained to the people who carefully set-up the
mailing list to misbehave in this awkward and clumsy fashion but they claim
that the majority of people prefer it this way.

So we have had to learn to just delete twice or answer once and delete the
second one or some-such.  Hitting the delete key really not that arduous
surely?
Regards from
a Tom :)
