Re: hijacked threads

[Philipp Rusch <philipp.rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't quite understand your point :

Where is the problem when you want to write on a new subject to go to
the NEW button and to start writing from there, and then putting the
midrange-l address in ? Is it that people want to save the effort to
put in this "midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx" that causes them to use the
reply-to method ?
This is ridiculous to me, when I knew about how threads are organized
and how well it is to be followed after in your(my) own mail-folder(s),
thread-wise sorting seems the most sophistidcated way for me.

And I am not alone ...   sigh
