when the list has "reply to list")
And the non-standard buttons
Reply to sender: Only makes sense in order to override lists with the
broken "reply to list" header.
Reply to list: You force people like me to get only one copy against my
wish, and you are proud of it.
The problem with that is not everyone uses complicated mailers. I am using
MUTT on a Linux system (this is a Linux list after) all, which is the same
mailer, with "improvements" that I have been using since 1991 when I got
my domain name and found out that UNIX mail would only put UUCP return
paths.
I only have two choices, "reply to sender" and "reply to everyone" which
replies to everyone in the sender and CC headers. I think it is smart
enough not to reply twice to someone who is in both, but that's as far as
it goes.
No, I have no intention of using a web mail interface, although I have
access to a particularly good one, a graphic mailer, mail.app, outlook,
outlook excess or anything else.
