I don't even have a "reply to all" button in the toolbar in my evolution version 3.36.3. It only lurks in the "message" menu. I've never used it. I've used the "reply to list" button. > That's exactly the problem. There's > nothing in the message itself to indicate that it has anything to do > with a mailing list. Yes, that's right. That's what I found, after posting my original message. I've made a mistake, and said so.

The same thing happened with my previous reply of course.
