(returning to the list) I would call this a bug in Tbird, but Mozilla probably calls it a deliberate feature.[1] It may be a response to something like <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524277>, but that's old and not marked fixed. So far, I haven't found anything else relevant, but I haven't looked very hard. Here's the story: If a message contains a Reply-To: header and a List-Post: header, both containing the same address, "Reply" ignores the Reply-To:. Presumably, the theory is Tbird offers "Reply List" (shift+Ctrl+L), so if you are using "Reply" rather than "Reply List", you must intend the reply to go to the sender. The only thing you can do in Mailman is set include_list_post_header to No, but this may annoy some users who like the "Reply List" ability. [1] It is a bug in that it is a violation of RFC 5322 sec 3.6.2 which says in part The originator fields also provide the information required when replying to a message. When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the address(es) to which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent. In the absence of the "Reply-To:" field, replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the "From:" field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the reply. Of course, setting reply_goes_to_list is also a violation ... And I'm also somewhat sympathetic to the arguments in <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524277>, but that asks for an option, and as far as I can tell, this behavior is not optional, even in the config editor. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
