I *believe* the logic that Larry and I worked out was that there might already be a Reply-To header (if a message was sent to a person and CC'd to a newsgroup for instance), so we thought it would be safer to just create or add to any existing To header.
I see. Maybe which header is used could be a simple config toggle?
I might be able to be convinced otherwise. Maybe you can have multiple addresses in a Reply-To, I'll have to look.
Well, thought I'd do a little browsing through RFC 2822. This is what I found:
3.6.2. Originator fields
In either case, an optional reply-to field MAY also be included, which contains the field name "Reply-To" and a comma-separated list of one or more addresses.
...
reply-to = "Reply-To:" address-list CRLF
...
The originator fields also provide the information required when replying to a message. When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es) to which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent.
So, at least according to that doc, sounds like an address list is valid. I have to admit I don't recall ever seeing it used that way, though. Perhaps further indication it would be safest as a config toggle?
Thanks for looking this up. I'll change it locally and test it with Mozilla and Outlook (and possibly Pine).
I just committed this change to CVS. It seems to work just fine with Mozilla, Outlook and Pine.
It also gave me the opportunity to cleanup the handling of netnews specific headers (Path, Xref) and to actually append the post addresses to the Reply-To header (previously I was just adding another To: header).
