I agree it's likely to be a "default effect" that few users subscribed

grumble is with Mailman upstream for not letting me just override the
Reply-To with my own values when I want to. Probably not a problem for
this list really. I do that sometimes for Debian but they don't use
Mailman anyway. :-)

However, even though I thought I had set that (and it
works on my
test list), that footer doesn't seem to have been used this time.
I'm unsure why and will have to look into that. It's supposed to look
like this:
_______________________________________________
$display_name mailing list <$listname>
You're subscribed as <$user_email>
Unsubscribe: <https://mailman.bitfolk.com/mailman/postorius/lists/$list_id/>
or send an email to <${short_listname}-leave@${domain}>
If that is deemed not particularly useful then I can turn off full
personalisation and the behaviour would go back to saying:
To: BitFolk Users <users(a)mailman.bitfolk.com>
Do people prefer that enough to get rid of the subscriber address in
footer?
I think what you have now (To: list and a customised footer) is great.
Thanks!
Speaking for
me personally, I'm happy with setting a default
Reply-To but I don't like the behaviour of Mailman 3 where it
concatenates the list's Reply-To with my supplied one. If I put a
Reply-To on a list mail it's because I want replies to go elsewhere
and *not* to the list (or if I do, I'll include the list's address
myself). I wish this could be changed but I'm not sure it can with
the knobs Mailman 3 providers.
Yeah, it can't. It's either "list doesn't add a Reply-To:" or
"list
adds its own to whatever is there already, if any".
Very few people were actually subscribed to "users-replyto" so it
could be argued that very few actually want the Reply-To: set, but
in conversation I actually think it's the case that most people were
just putting up with it not being set because they couldn't be
bothered to join the other list.
However, if there is a clear preference for not setting the
Reply-To: then I will revert that, and that would also allow any
user supplied Reply-To: to be the only one. So if you are not
particularly bothered either way about the list adding its own
Reply-To:, you might still be against it for the other reason. What
are your thoughts?
