Last I checked, thunderbird reply-all does cc undisclosed-recipients.
Very irritating given how we configured the apmail reply-to-all's.

So I don't think it adds much but it makes the mailstream more
difficult to read.  But I gave it a little thought while travelling
and haven't come up with good answers.  Since I really don't mind the
inevitable bounce when I reply-to-all, personally I don't care that
it's fixed.

I would say it's better, because you are aware of the problem before 
sending. But that's probably very subjective.

The problem with Thunderbird is known:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450497
and maybe
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83521

but not yet fixed.

Considering mutt, Gmail, and Thunderbird all include cvs@httpd in the

I've simply lived with the bother of removing the offending address,
or forgetting and just throwing away the automatic reply (from the
mail transport for unknown-recipients or from httpd against cvs@).

I'd prefer we don't throw away the to: header, it will make filtering
and sorting emails more difficult for some folks who lack any-header
rich regex filtering features.

I for one don't want the duplicate messages; reply-to says dev@ and that is
where patches for discussion should be discussed.  Re: Crap doesn't belong

1) Bounces are lame.  Personally, since this irks, I simply choose to solve 
this issue by not repling to cvs@ posts b/c I know it happens and its annoying.

2)  I'm involved in _several_ communities, as most of us here are.  Both 
inside and outside the ASF.  The Rule as documented on at least 50% of them is 
to always Reply-To-All so that non-subscribes that 1-off post get replies.

3) CVS/DEV at lists serve a purpose.  Many people choose digest, or RSS, or 
god knows what for cvs@.  Its good for that to be commits only.

4) See # 3 above; that said, in other projects, though I don't seem to mind it 
there, the reply-to-alls do go through to the cvs@/commits@ lists.

Now, I don't care where we end up too much if at all, but bounces must go, its 
just as bad to delete a bounce as it is a dup.  Not to mention the bounces 
come to my INBOX rather then a folder.

It isn't busy work to ask that people who always do a reply-all,
which in my opinion is annoying as hell for community lists, should
do the extra work of trimming the list of addresses to those that
they actually intend.  It will save them from some embarrassment,
eventually, if they get in the habit of sending mail only where
it is wanted.

The whole reason we have reply-to munging is because we don't want
to receive the same damn email to several lists and our personal
addresses.  We want responses to go to one and only one place.
It is intentional and has been our policy since the very first
flames on new-httpd.  That whole nonsense about "reply-to being evil"
was written by folks who don't need to delete a thousand messages a
day just to keep up with their work.

That makes it impossible to find discussion related to specific
pieces of code by searching the archives of the discussion list.
No thanks.  As I said, if you don't like the bounces, then the
commits configuration can be set to black-hole misdirected messages
that have dev@httpd on the to/cc list.  That way, none of us have
to delete them twice.

It is not only one person who is running up against this.  Instead of
unilaterally stating that there is nothing to fix, I asked first to
get a consensus of folks on-list - I never asked Joe to activate any
changes (as I didn't think we had a consensus yet) - he did so on his

I believe that asking folks to change their sending address, or live
with bounces, or remembering to remove addresses every time is busy

commenting and should be avoided.  We have software that should
conform to what we desire - we shouldn't need to work around broken
configs.

I am completely uninterested in "fixing" the config just because some
person reflexively does a reply-all and then doesn't edit their own
destination addresses.  There is nothing to fix here.  A bounce is what
they are supposed to receive to keep the discussion on dev.

Andre and Roy are the only ones signed up for moderation of cvs@httpd.
I think the people who want it to go back to being a moderated list
should first step up and offer to moderate it before we revert the

nobody@ sounds fine as long as it doesn't blow up too many people's filters.

My filters are all based on List-Id/List-Post, so that should be
okay...dev@svn just went through that whole debacle a few months ago
as CollabNet did a migration that removed List-Id/List-Post from all
of their list headers...*grin*  -- justin

It seems to me that the way the list is currently configured will
upset the fewest number of people.  The only people who get burned
right now are people who reply to one of Justin's commit followups
and are not subscribed to cvs@httpd (they get a bounce).  They can
rectify that by either subscribing or trimming cvs@httpd from their
reply headers.

If we have nobody@httpd.apache.org, would that make it
easier for people's filters?

nobody@apache.org routes to the bit-bucket, so that would work for the To:
header.  That's what I would recommend doing at this point, although I've
just implemented Justin's recommended config and will stop there until
the list comes to a decision.

Make the To: line the bit-bucket? Like no-reply@

Shrug, I can try completely removing the To: header, but I'm fairly
certain that some MTA's will add one back (and a missing To: header
will trigger anti-spam).  Other than that, it's pick your poison 
time, since no universal solution seems at hand.

Gmail does the same thing in my last set of moderation emails (the
last list I moderated got deleted last month).  Reply-all yields
-accept, not found, -allow.

I don't *recall* that being the behavior before with Gmail, but it
seems that's what it does now...  -- justin

Nice.  How do people actually handle moderation at the ASF then?
You're *supposed* to be using Reply-All when you want to accept
a post.  Are none of these clients out there ezmlm-compatible?

When you hit 'reply-all' now, GMail adds in:

list not shown <Recipient>

and then gives an error complaining about the address when you hit
'send'.  -- justin

So, is that better or worse than getting a bounce message?  I'll point out
that Yahoo! used to have a similar problem, but have since resolved it.  I
wonder what gmail does now?

I tried with Thunderbird 3.0b1. It copies

Recipient list not shown: ;

as well as

undisclosed-recipients:;

to CC when replying to all. When actually sending the message a popup 
occurs, that informs the user, that the address needs to be corrected 
because it is invalid. You can't send before changing or removing the 
address.

FWIW, RFC-2822 says the text shouldn't matter, as both headers constitute
empty groups (albeit with different names).

Correction, the exact header used for the apr moderation queue is;

  To: Recipient list not shown: ;

so not the same thing as "undisclosed-recipients:"

Are you sure?  AIUI the list is now configured to behave in the
same way that ezmlm deals with moderation requests.
