(man is that a run-on sentence or what?) :) Well of course it makes it easier to respond to the list. However, I think the majority of the messages that are being sent right now however, should actually be sent to the person themselves. Look at that builder who wanted to get a building position on a mud. How many responses were sent over the list in a day? I counted 3 before writing this. Howabout when someone requests help with some code? do we really need 5 people responding over the list with something that would prolly only apply to that one person? Or the several other "private" conversations happening over the list? BTW, yes I am using elm, and % doesn't help me. it sends "circle@cspo.queensu.ca" as who it is from, heck, its very inconsistant, sometimes I can easily get the person's email address from the headers when I read the mail, sometimes I have to ask for the full headers, sometimes I can't find their email address at all. I think remembering circle@cspo.queensu.ca is a better alternative than hunting for an useable address to cut and paste in. Though admittedly, I have forgotten to switch the To: field to the address on more occasions than I care to remember. (one poor guy musta gotten _at least_ 4 messages from me as I kept re-writing my mail and forgetting to switch the To: over, then growling, then repeating the process) My vote would be to require a little more thought to send it to the list, +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
