Because hitting Reply and sending to a list would only be<br>consistent if the list was the originator of the message.<br>Some mailing lists do implement this bizarre and<br>non-standard email behaviour but thankfully the Python
<br>community doesn't! This behaviour has been standard<br>in email tools for over 25 years, let's not try to change<br>it now!<br></blockquote></div><br>It's getting to be the majority of mailing lists that do it the other way, and I find it quite irritating that this list does not - I have had several times that I sent a mail, and after sending it, sometimes long after sending it, I realize I sent it to the sender instead of the list, so I send a second message after it. Who knows how often I have failed to do that?
