[Talk-GB] Fwd: NCN refs - consistency

[Shaun McDonald]

I don't like having to remember to hit "reply all" for the OSM lists,  
can this setting be changed? Can I also get a copy of mail that I  
send to the list, just like the OpenOffice.org list do? That way I  
know that the mail has gone to the list without having to go to the  
archive.
