Learn to use "Reply to All" instead of "Reply".

My problem is that I did get used to that, but I started then to do the same for personal mail as a reflex, and that wasn't good (but only natural).


I didn't intend for this to be a thread on the ML, I sent my Mail to the list-owner and only cc'ed it to the list in case there's no-one checking the list-owner alias.

I think the reasons given by Apple are just plain wrong. I think it's cut'n'pasted from some general policy that may apply very well to some lists, but certainly not this one.

And I think their survey material is outdated or from another list (or perhaps even made up) when they write: "Our experience is that most users do not want this done to the lists" and "we have done multiple surveys of the list users about the issue".

Maybe I should setup my own survey and send them the data! :)

We did manage to get them to fix the stripping of non-ASCII characters and we did manage to get a search added to the list archive. So my hope was that letting them know (list-owner that is) that a policy change is requested for good reason may reconsider treating us as we have never used Email before and do not know that a ML list reply is sent to the ML.

Sorry about the noise this has caused (if it did, 75% of the replies doesn't seem to be cc'ed to the list ;) )!
