I am noticing something in the past several weeks where more and
more
posters are using the "Reply to All" feature when responding
to
FlyRotary mailings.
Hi Dave.
Guess what, it's just
you :-) When I replied (not reply all) to a message earlier
today, I noticed that your address came up along with the list
address. I just figured you set it up that way on purpose for some
reason. On this reply, and the previous one, I manually deleted your
direct email address from the list.
I don't begin to
understand all this. On some lists that I've been on, I can "reply" and
get just the list address, or "reply all" as you assumed to get the
list, and the direct email. I asked Marvin about this a while
back, because I wanted that feature, but he said (if I understood him
correctly), that this was a function of how you set your email program up, and
not a function of his list software.
There is certainly a
difference in how email programs work, and frankly, that's why I hate plain text
so much. Outlook just doesn't play well with it, but I
need Outlook for my PDA functions. Other programs don't like HTML, or
implement it differently. There are differences in how attachments
are handled. Every time Paul Conner posts, we get some sort of
attachment that says there's no virus. In the old days, email was
simple, everyone was on dial up, and you didn't need to run virus
scanners and such.
This email inconstancy
is reason number 473 why I think web forums are so vastly superior to mail lists
in this day and age. Unfortunately, I've mentioned this to Marvin, and
happen to know that he's 100% against changing. This is frustrating
to me, but life goes on.
Cheers,
Rusty (stepping off the
soapbox now)
