Do you know of specific UA that do specifically support "Reply To List"
Common User Interface option? If so what do they tag on?
Kmail, Evolution, Pine. Usually specific folder settings.
I know OE is not using the List-ID for a "Reply To Sender" or a "Reply to
All" It would be nice to have a third "Reply To List" option where it
might use the "List-ID" if available.
List-ID does not contain a mailbox; it cannot be used to send to a
mailing list.
But as you say, you don't need it if the List Server or middle-ware or
special UA has a special way of setting the "Reply-to:" field.
I didn't say that.
Now, this is the $6 million question. Not to long ago, you were clearly
dead set against a system using the Reply-To: as a way to force the List
Address within a normal MUA expected "Reply to Sender" concept.
That has not been the case of recent messages with yours. A Reply to
Sender does how I shown above because of your own Reply-To: address going
to the list address.
Author (or author's UA per author's configuration) sets Reply-To: good.
List expander sets Reply-To: very bad. RFC 2822 says "When the
"Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es) to which the
author of the message suggests that replies be sent". N.B. "author",
not anybody or anything else.
