sorry...
no 'reply' butttons (thunderbird) or any other link (list archives) i
tried has worked so far, so i give up.

some of you might find interesting, that's all...

i guess this is the modern world ... where something that us
old-timers take for granted (replying to a mailing list) actually
appears so difficult to someone who is neverthless a technically
minded person that they give up.
ccernn: i have no idea how you are reading these messages (you have a
gmail.com account, but apparently are not using gmail in a web-browser
to actually read mail), but it is just a *little* unfathomable that
you'd be using a method that doesn't allow you to reply to them. list
archives are archives ... they have never provided any method of
replying to messages.
oh well ... another reason to feel sad about web forums :)

Thunderbird should allow this, but I think I read that it's somewhat
awkward or at least not straight forward. However, it's popular, so
someone should know how to do it.
I did a quick search for it, and it suggests that it really is a poor
mail client, but the search suggests that there is an extension that
helps.

Thunderbird 3.0.4 has reply-to-all and reply-to-list buttons.
They are displayed by default. Maybe you've 'customized' them away?
or any other link (list archives)
The top-most (aka first) link in the email-archive is a 'mailto:' URL
which opens a window to send a reply to the list. It does not cite the
message but it includes the in-reply-to header.

There are a few thousand subscribers to this list which have no problem
at using the "reply to all" or "reply to list" button or shortcut.
Sorry to hear that you're running into problems. I wonder why our
list-admin (CCed) has not yet replied to this - probably because the
Subject is misleading - If you're interested why the default reply does
not go to the list, read: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
It looks like you just claimed the: "You're the 10000th subscriber and
win the reply-to-list problem" award (-:

Thanks for sharing.
Once you're over the initial email-list frustration, you may want to
announce it on http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-announce
Doing so should be easier: LAA is a one-way email-list: no replies and
it would help to gain publicity for axonlib. There's quite a few
news-feeds, packagers and software indexers/archivers watching there.
if there's any questions, ask in our discussion

yes, thought about that too, but didn't know what was acceptable

cc'ing these two places...
will do the next time i have something new/major to announce.
yeah, let's see now, if gmane is working better for me
and thanx (to all) for trying to sort this out..
sorry to fill up your mailing lists with this crap...
not on purpose..

i got a few emils just after the announcement, and replied to them, thinking
they would pop up in the list, like i've seen the threads when browsing the
archives from http://lalists.stanford.edu/lad/
but they didn't arrive...
then i tried all reply links in the postings when reading the list archive...
they were mailto: links, so thunderbird popped up. but, some way or another,
thunderbird messes up the mailto: adresses, multiple @@'s in there, with ' and
other weird charachers...
might be my thunderbird setup that is f**ked???

Reply-to-all will work, then.
Some people get cross if you reply-to-all to one of their list
messages, because that means they may get two copies of your reply --
one to them directly and one via the list. That does depend on their
mailer or mail server though, because the two have identical message
IDs and so can be handled correctly if their client is up to it. (I'm
using reply-to-all now, so you'll soon find out if your client copes.
If you're using gmail, I think it will, and you will get only a single
copy of this.)
So: reply-to-list is better if you have it, but if you don't, use reply-to-all.

You can change them by visiting

At the bottom of there's an option:

Avoid duplicate copies of messages?
When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a list
message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing list.
Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list; select No to
receive copies.

mmh "better" in what way?
I'm certainly not the only one with a setup where emails from the list
are moved directly into a dedicated folder which I read at convenience.
Whereas emails to me end up in the INBOX which I read more frequently.
I tend to use the 'reply-to-list' and 'reply-to-all' correspondingly:
"important replies" to-all; else to-list only.

I wouldn't really know, I don't have reply-to-list either and don't
greatly care. Thought it might cut down some potential objections
though.
