[Haskell-cafe] Missing messages in the ML

[Kim-Ee Yeoh]

Perhaps not gremlins in the ether but the reply button that folks hit on
their web mail doesn’t include the mailing list. Hence, it wasn’t reflected
to us.

Subsequently, someone in the convo noticed the absence and included haskell
cafe back in. Then we see the missing messages as quoted replies.

How to fix this? Two possible approaches:

1. Remind folks to Reply to All.

2. Change the mailing list settings so that webmail reply goes to the list
by default. Privatizing the convo—previously the default—is still doable.
The haskell beginners list took this decision years ago.

I believe option 2 has been suggested previously.

This is a consequence of most folks migrating to webmail from unix mail
clients that were a bit smarter in being able to recognize unix-driven
mailing lists. (At least that’s my guess how we got here.)
