[PLUG] Change in Reply-To field of PLUG list on 7/14/2019...

[Fred Stluka via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

PLUG folks,

I just noticed that the behavior of Reply-To changed on 7/14/2019.

Before that a reply went to the entire list by default.  Since that
date, the Reply-To field has been changed, so a reply goes only to
the original poster (OP).  You can see the transition clearly in the
archives, where the Reply-To field is shown for each message.

This may be related to the message (appended below) posted by
Walt on 7/7/2019, where he talks about making changes to the
list's email box.

I looked through my Sent folder and found a bunch of replies that
I had intended to send to the entire list in the past 18 months, that
only went to the OP.  I had caught and re-sent some of them at the
time because the OP noticed and asked why I had sent only to him,
not the entire list.  Or because I was surprised at the lack of replies
to my reply.

I suspect others of you may have made the same mistake.  Please
don't take it personally.  We're not ignoring your posts.  We're simply
not seeing them.

Walt, can you or someone please look into this?  Was it an intentional
change or an accident?  Thanks!
