This thread will come over again and again until: 1. Debian stops getting new contributors (that haven't configured their MUA properly "yet") 2. Debian mailing-list sends appropriate "hints" so MUAs behave in conformance with the m-l policy. 3. Debian mailing-lists' policy is changes. 4. The following MUA are fixed to behave "properly" when a user press "reply": grep -hE '^(User-Agent:|X-Mailer)' lists/* | sed -e 's/^[^:]*:\s*//' \ | sed -e 's,[ /].*,,' -e 's,(.*,,' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -k 1 -r 10206 Mutt 3046 Evolution 2684 Gnus 2208 KMail 1755 reportbug 1370 Mozilla-Thunderbird 1365 Thunderbird 503 MIME-tools 376 Mozilla 343 Claws 329 Sylpheed 323 Alpine 265 Microsoft... 244 KNode 234 Madmutt 195 mutt-ng 187 SquirrelMail 186 Apple 150 slrn 112 Internet 104 VM 94 YahooMailWebService 81 Heirloom 68 tin 65 RoundCube 65 Icedove 64 maintainers-needed.pl 57 IceDove 55 Mew 46 YahooMailRC 43 Wanderlust 39 nail 38 Gemini 37 Forte 35 The 35 Pan 28 WWW-Mail 28 Loom 24 PHPMailer 23 netcat 23 CAcert.org 22 Opera 20 git-send-email 18 devscripts 15 Lotus 14 IlohaMail 13 Microsoft-Entourage 11 Web-Based 11 G2 11 Debian 10 Zimbra 9 TOI 9 MessagingEngine.com 8 Sylpheed-Claws 8 SnapperMail 8 SEMI 8 QUALCOMM 8 mPOP 7 Sympa 7 StGIT 7 PHP 7 Openwave 7 Balsa 6 Pegasus 6 I.UA 6 Centrum and few others /me uses Debian's default MUA /me tries hard to avoid CC'ing sender. /me sometimes fails to remove CC'd people.
