well here\'s another thing that bothers me then:

in roundcube when I reply to a mailinglist post, I HAVE to remember to 
click \'reply-to-all\'. (We can go into a discussion that this is silly
as I don\'t want to reply to multiple people, because the mail came only
from one address and was forwarded, hence it should go to either one
of them, not just a random one)

If I don\'t clik \'reply-to-all\' then I have no way to find out what the
original mailinglist address was, because it\'s no longer displayed in one
of the fields above the text you just typed. If I want to go back to the
original mail, I have to close (save a draft - otherwise my text I typed
is gone completely!) and retreive the mail address first. Then I can
compose again, or hit reply-to-all, but like I said this is something
that I don\'t do for any other mailinglist.

Oh yeah, BTW, the reply-er still has a choice of changing the addressees
when the mailinglist sets the \'reply-to\' header. It\'s called the \"To:\"
field (\"Recipient\" in roundcube) and anyone can modify it.

Auke

but I\'ll skip that -
