Lines: 30 We would like to conduct a poll on a minor point of the user interface to the ucb/mail program. Scenario: Mail is sent to a system-wide alias. A person (hereafter known as the "replier" uses the "r" command to reply to the message. The header of the reply message contains a "To" field with the name of the originator of the original message (the one being replied to) and also the alias. In other words - the reply goes to the originator AND the all folks who got the original message. Question: Is that reasonable behavior? Not from a system, or naive-user, or even experience-user standpoint, but from a mail-system-design standpoint. The results will be posted. (And maybe the software changed!)
