Re: Introduce constants in Python (constant name binding)

oops, forgot to include the list. i really hate lists that don't have the the list as the default reply setting :-( (Yes, I know that goes against the conventional wisdom) On Wed, May 26, 2021 at 9:14 AM Shreyan Avigyan <pythonshreyan09@gmail.com>

This is something that lists should *not* do, because your MUA can and should do it for you (and not for me). If you want the feature, get a decent MUA (unfortunately, that probably means using an Emacs-based MUA or Mutt). The algorithm the MUA needs to implement is not difficult (basically, look for a List-Post field in the header and reply-to-list if found), nor is any additional needed functionality (and many MUAs already implement reply-to-list). For reasons I don't understand, the popular MUAs just refuse to DWIM the 'r' key for you.
