[Discuss-gnuradio] Responding to this discussion platform from webmail

[Barry Duggan]

Hi!

I have noticed that if a person uses a webmail service (meaning logging 
into a website such as gmail) to send their email, rather than an email 
client (such as Thunderbird or Apple Mail), the mechanics of responding 
to a discussion item become very difficult. To illistrate this:

With an email client:
1) the user clicks on a discussion topic and wants to respond.
2) the user clicks on the name just below "reply via email to".
3) the email client opens a window with the To address and the Subject 
already filled in.
4) the user types their response and sends it (hopefully with a Cc to 
discuss-gnuradio).

With a webmail user:
1) the user clicks on a discussion topic and wants to respond.
2) if the user clicks on the name just below "reply via email to", 
nothing happens, and the user doesn't know the email address because it 
is hidden. So the only alternative is to respond to discuss-gnuradio 
without sending an email to the author. If the user doesn't do some copy 
and paste, this also can lead to dropping the real subject and 
replicating the entire digest!

I use a webmail server, and wanted to let the administrators know about 
the situation. But I haven't thought of any easy answers :(

Best wishes,
