hi again,
i've posted two messages yesterday on this list, they didn't get back to me yet (I'm subscribed as medialist@xicnet.com) but I got an answer from Olaf, so I noticed the mail went through the list. but still don't have my original posts.
I've checked the mail.log in my server and seems to not have received any smtp input from the pd-list mailserver [iem.kug.ac.at].
I see the messages show in the archive http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2005-05/thread.html
does this happen to any of you as well?
IOhannes you are the list admin, right? would you be so kind to give a check to this, bitte? thx .. i know it's boring, but also not receiving the mails from the list is much more boring ;)
if there is anyhthing I could help on, plz tell.
last thing:
we discussed this a bit before, but I still feel not convinced about it:
why do the list replies go back to the original poster rather than the list itself?
I really think that if a post produces replies they should remain as a public thread, whereas now it drops into a private exchange.
is this really what we need/like/prefer? why?
thanks for the pacience have a nice day, ramiro.

Because you have sent your mail to the original poster instead of to the list. It's not a software problem.
The pd-lists don't touch your decision, who to sent mail to, at all.
(If you use Mutt: It has a "list-reply" function normally mapped to the key "L". Add "pd-list" to your ~/.muttrc as: "subscribe pd-list pd-dev ..." and you're set.)
Not messing with the reply-to is considered good practice on most (technically oriented) mailing lists. Google for "reply-to harmful" for the gory details of this discussion.
Ciao
