Ah, yes. Thank you. I'll read through that.
Different UAs have different sets of reply options, and ones named
similarly often do different things in different UAs. Right now
I'm using Kmail, which has:
1. Reply...
2. Reply To All
3. Reply To Author
4. Reply To Mailing List
along with various "Forward" options. All options allow editing the
set of recipients. Reply To Author is supported by several UAs, and
allows replies to the author(s) -- as listed in the original message's
header From field -- overriding Reply-To.
The problem is that with the introduction of List-* header, several
MUAs now have a "list reply" function, which will only reply to the
list mailbox. The multiple Reply-To trick doesnt work.
Given that List-* allows MUAs to now behave differently if list
context is detected (typically: mail only list), I'd like a way for
originator to affect behaviour of responding MUAs in that context.
I'll read that thread.
