Re: [sumo] Change in reply procedure?

[Christopher Basten <basten@statgen.ncsu.edu>]

Barbara,

I did tweak the config file last week.  I told MajorDomo to add
[sumo] to the Subject line and to add a note at the end indicating the
end of the post.   I also told it to add a Reply-To: line with
sumo@statgen.ncsu.edu as the reply to address.

When I hit the reply key in MacOSX Mail.app, it addresses the reply to
sumo@statgen.ncsu.edu.   I think that different mail programs handle
the headers differently.  I took off the Reply-To: header, so things 
should
be back as they were.

I have another list where the people have a lot of trouble sending 
posts to
their lists (they tend to send them directly to me).  I put the 
Reply-To: header
on their list and took care of most of that problem.

All mail send to sumo@statgen.ncsu.edu should go to the whole list.
statgen.ncsu.edu is an alias for sun01pt2-1523.statgen.ncsu.edu

Sorry for the confusion,

Chris
