Following instructions?

[sraun]

I think I'm going to keep a count of how many people successfully followed the instructions in an announcement I sent out recently.

Currently, the answer is 66%.

its a the blue herring for non tech savvy people

At least one of the 'failure-to-follow' instances was from a highly tech-savvy person. :-(

people are trained to click on the link
I experimented to see what happened
a sign saying 'go back and look at post'
might help?
I should have added if there's a place for it?

Shoulda set the reply-to address, eh?

I could have checked, but the e-mail went to a MailMan mailing list, which - IIRC - is configured to add it's own Reply-To. I vaguely recall a 'strip existing Reply-To's' being one of the configuration settings, I assume it was activated. I supposed I should test that sometime.

I read this post after I at least attempted to follow the instructions. Hope I succeeded!
