I see that someone has instructed Mailman to munge the reply-to. Please don't do that. I was about to make a *private* reply to someone, and realized that the setting had changed, and that I was trapped into replying to the list.
It's you, Lynda. Really. :-)
Well, *now* I know it's not mailman, but it's not me, either. Not exactly. What I noticed was that *some* of the email to Nanog, today, had this set, but not all. I was very confused (it's not the first time I've been confused, of course).
Your message, frex, did not have reply-to munged; I had to do it by hand (since Zimbra 6 is still too stupid; I've had that bug open for over 2 years now; maybe 7 fixes it). One reply to you did, but the rest did not.
Yeah, Mr Peach set an evil trap for me. I'd been about to send him a private email (on something of absolutely no importance), and when I realized it went back to Nanog, was puzzled enough to check to see whether it had been changed. Cleverly, I tested replies to a couple of other emails, and as luck would have it, one was my own (and tbird has a stupid habit of knowing that if it's a mailing list, I surely meant to send it to the list), and the other two were both to Mr Peach. Sorry for noise. Back to making sure Geoff H believes us, and keeps right on sending the reports. -- Last week we lost a giant in the world of computing.
