[Air-L] Change of default reply setting on air-l

[Marj Kibby]

A guide on setting up a mailing list that I wrote for staff a decade or two ago says:

If your mailing list is primarily for one or two way communication such as course announcements, then set the default 'reply to' to the individual poster.

If your mailing list is for class discussion, then set the default 'reply to' to the mailing list. Use the list 'signature' to advise your students that replies go to the list and give your own email for private replies. 

There were/are good reasons for this advice. 

Regards,
Marj
