You could simply have a "Reply to Sender."  However, the easiest way to
implement it would be to remap "Control*r" to "Reply to List" for
designated folders.  On the rare occasion you want to reply to an
individual, you click the Reply button on the menu bar, use the Action
menu or right-click the message and choose "Reply," just as you
currently do to get to "Reply to List."

Progmatically, adding custom key bindings for each folder should be
relatively straight forward.  Hmm, maybe I should grab the source
code...

/usr/share/gnome/ui is correct for my system.  Thanks!  Having a hot key
makes things much easier.  Now, can you tell me how to add the command
to the menu bar?
