Sorry, I had that reversed
clicking Reply All: puts gnucash-u...@lists.gnucash.org 
<mailto:gnucash-u...@lists.gnucash.org> in the cc: field, and the sender in the 
To: field.

Adrien,

For your reference, in the MacOS Mail.app:

clicking Reply: puts the sender in the To: field
clicking Reply All: puts gnucash-u...@lists.gnucash.org 
<mailto:gnucash-u...@lists.gnucash.org> in the To: field, and the sender in the 
cc: field.

Usually what I do is hit 'Reply All', delete the sender from the To: field and 
drag gnucash from cc: to To:.

Regards,
Will

I'll add Mail.app on MacOS to the list. The 'From:' header has a down arrow to 
the right of the address. (visible on hover) Clicking it brings up a context 
menu with 'New Mail' as an option. (There is also a 'Copy Address' option if 
one prefers) As well, any address in the body of a message has the same options.

Not certain about Mail.app on iOS, but I'd suspect there is a similar feature.


Regards,
Adrien
