Hi all,
I’m pretty stupid and i can’t figure out how to reply to this topic:
Re: [opensuse-project] Re: openFATE feature 306967, KDE default
I have subscribed to the opensuse-project mailing list, but i can’t figure out how to reply to a particular message, and the help page is useless:
Mailinglists - openSUSE
This article is about how to subscribe, unsubscribe, read archives, ask for help and assistance, post to the list etc.
it does nothing of the sort.
you fail to mention what email client you are using, so it is harder
to be specific, but your answer is among the points made by the
reference you dismiss, and/or embedded links, here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Mailing_Lists#Why_do_my_replies_go_to_the_original_poster_and_not_the_list.3F
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
which i believe would lead you to clicking on the “Reply to sender and
all recipients” (or similarly named) button in whatever client you
choose to use…
using Thunderbird and reading this newsgroup via NNTP, i see under the
main menu item “Messages” these options:
Reply
Reply to Sender Only
Reply to All
Reply to Newsgroup
i’m not currently subscribed to any mail-lists, but maybe if i were
i’d see one more option:
Reply to Mail-list
check it out…

i use thunderbird.
i see, so you can only reply to posts that arrive in your inbox after you subscribe to the list?
possibly a good idea if it puts a stop to flame wars from incensed visitors.
thank you
Does a message have to be moderated before it gets posted?
I replied to one of the mailing list messages that arrived in my inbox, and haven’t yet had a failed message reply so i presume all is well, yet my message has not been posted yet nearly thirty minutes later.
Is this just because messages get moderated before release?
i don’t see reply to newsgroup or reply to mail list…
“reply to all” would seem to be the answer.
cheers

yes, only subscribers may post to other subscribers via the
list…that is pretty much standard with list servers…

Only if the list is a moderated list. opensuse-projects isn’t a
moderated list, it is however open only to members of the list (ie, you
can post to it without being a member).

It is. If you wanted to reply to earlier messages in the discussion, the
list is carried on news.gmane.org - you have to subscribe to the list
first, but then you can reply through gmane to those earlier messages.
