[Tech1] Mailing list problems

[Alan Taylor]

I use Apple Mail, both on a Mac and an iPad.  If you simply hit the reply button on that, your reply goes solely to the original sender and not the group, just as Bernie describes.

Does anybody know of a clever way of making it automatically reply to the group by default?

Thunderbird for instance has a "Reply List" option, and if you are using Thunderbird and don't click on it, the reply only goes to the sender. I don't know if other mail clients have the equivalent.

This seems to have changed and improved since its introduction.  The second problem also seems to be to do with your provider, as the list settings allow receiving your own messages. It's come up a good number of times over the years, and I haven't yet been able to fix it.
