Tommy,

...

When I hit reply to one of the posts in my mailbox, will I then reply to eg. Kim, or Rob or will it go directly to the list.

Do I need to create a new mail to the list if I want to answer on something for everyone to read??

If you simply "Reply," the message is likely to go only to the person who sent the message you're replying to.

If you "Reply All" however, the message should go to the list as well.

Some mailing lists are set up with a Reply-To: header so that by default all replies will go to the list. That's not the case on empeg-dev, at least not now -- I'm undecided whether I should change this.

If anyone has an opinion, I'm happy to hear it. Otherwise it's assumed you are careful to reply in the right way.

(One argument in favor of an automatic Reply-To: is that some people are annoyed to receive two messages when the message is addressed both to them and to the list. As a courtesy, it's often a good idea to trim the To: and Cc: lists when you know someone is subscribed to the list.)

Thanks for clearing this out, as you probably see, this is a 'reply to all' message. :)

Is there an easy way from the empeg to tell if emplode is currently doing something with the empeg? I would like my D.Net script to be able to realize emplode is uploading music or something, and stop what it's doing until it's finished, since when my D.Net buffer saver copies the buffers off the ramdisk every 3 1/2 mins, it causes emplode to fall on it's face.

I can't think of a simple way to detect this offhand.

I suppose you could see if the music partition is mounted read/write, but you're likely to have a race condition in any case. What you probably want is some kind of active notification that emplode is starting up... then again, I can't imagine why emplode should care?
