Discussion List Style - Request For Comments

Heya,

Many people have mentioned

that the style of Dada Mail discussion lists are slightly different
than other Mailing List Managers Right now, I want to focus on one
issue:

It seems that in other programs, messages sent to the list have the,
"To:" header filled into what Dada Mail refers to as the, "List
Address" For this list, it would look sort of like this:

To: dadadev@skazat
com
From: me@example
com

Currently in Dada Mail, the, "To:" header is set to, well, to the
person that will receive the message, if, "receiver@example com" is
going to receive the message, the headers would look like this:

To: receiver@example
com
From: me@example
com

If you check the headers of this very message, you should see this

The first, traditional way has an interesting advantage, that many
have pointed out - if you reply to the message, you'll reply to the
original sender If you hit, "Reply to All", you'll reply to both the
original sender, and the list This is what most people expect - I
think :)

This functionality is currently broken in Dada Mail discussion lists;
if you hit, "reply", you'll reply to the original sender If you hit,
"Reply All", you'll reply to the original sender

There is an option in dada_bridge pl, to, "Automatically have replies
to messages directed to the group "

If this option is checked, replies will go back to the list If you
hit, "Reply-All", replies will go back to the list

So, my question is: I was thinking of changing this list to the more
traditional headers, anyone have a problem with that?

Any other experiences with discussion mailing lists that you'd like
copied?

Cheers,
