Of the three proposed Requests For Comments I have about Gemini:
`=`F19f`[gemini://gemini.conman.org/gRFC/`:/page/rgproxy.mu`resultat=gemini.conman.org/gRFC/|backurl=gemi.dev/gemini-mailing-list/000000.gmi]`f``
one is no longer applicable (the text format for a Gemini index now allows
reflowing), one has been accepted (although that was in the works before I
wrote it) and one is still out there (optionally including the size of the
document). I'm curious as to the thoughts about that last one.
Also, does anyone know what's up with HeavySquare.com?
`=`F19f`[`:/page/rgproxy.mu`resultat=heavysquare.com/|backurl=gemi.dev/gemini-mailing-list/000000.gmi]`f``
I can't seem to get anything from that server.

I'll start separate threads about text reflowing and size shortly, so we
can keep separate topics in separate threads to make it easy for people
to follow things they care about.

Me neither, I get a header of "4\tNot Found." for everything. I'll
email the admin and see if I can find out what's happening.

Oh ... this list subscribes to the "don't munge the Reply-To" header ...
sigh.

Yeah, it's a little bit of a hassle. I'll see if we can get that fixed.

I can change the reply-to setting, if you prefer.

Normally I don't top-post, but I am on mobile. Sorry about that.

`! I can change the reply-to setting, if you prefer.`!
Well, I for one would strongly prefer just being able to reply to any
email from the list and have it be sent only to the list, rather than
back to the author with (at best) a CC to the list (so that the author
ends up with two copies). That system is pretty cumbersome and I've
never quite understood why it's so common.
Does the backend for this list permit something like that?

No worries, I'm not that bothered by it, personally.

Yes, I have changed the relevant setting. It will not override an explicit
reply-to by the author, but if there is none, it will add a reply-to to the list.

It goes back to "'Reply-To:' munging considered harmful":
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
This is an older argument (I wrote about it back in 2000 [1]) and I'm in the
camp of "'Reply-To:' munging is okay".
