I have elected to receive the majority of the mailing lists I am
subscribed to in mime digest mode (actually all the lists who support such
a mode, which incidentally means all mailman-managed ones).
Recently there was a discussion on the alpine lists about ways to
automatically trigger (as an user preference in the MTA, not as a list
preference in mailman or alike) that replies go to the list, not to the
poster (I'm one of the 50% of the people who think that a discussion list
is made for discussions not for person-to-person replies).
This can be technically implemented in alpine as a role-setting rule
triggered by some pattern in the e-mail message one is replying to.
The suggestion was to use List-Id.
However, if one receives from the list as a MIME digest (as I do), and
accesses individual Message/RFC822 portions as if it were an individual
e-mail (which I do via a key definition rule in alpine), these portions DO
NOT CONTAIN ANY of the "list management keywords".
I guess a quick workaround for me would be to use the To: field instead of
List-Id, but I wonder if a future mailman version could consider a way to
include the "list management keywords" in the Message/RFC822 components !
