Because people are still proposing more complicated things (and things which don't have a clear distinction between *private* and *public* replies and which are more likely to lead to confusion IMHO). And I'm trying *not* to just ignore people who are proposing things that seem not to make much sense to me; I'm trying to work out what they really need.

Remember, we're *only* talking about the toolbar button. You'll always have the option of hitting Ctrl-Shift-R or using 'Reply to All' from the menu. So are you *really* saying that you need *both* 'all' and 'list' reply buttons to be in the toolbar, because even thought your normal preference it to reply-to-list on list messages, you might *sometimes* want to reply-to-all on a list message instead? And you really can't use the menu or the keyboard for that rare occasion? I agree that 'Reply in Public' isn't a brilliant name for a button which tries to reply to the list, and falls back to replying to all. Do you have a better suggestion? Given that: - we can't make it change according to the message we're looking at. - 'Reply to List' would be wrong sometimes. - 'Reply to All' would be wrong sometimes. - 'Reply to List or All' is clumsy too. Perhaps 'Group Reply'? -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
