Well, TB 10.0.2 (if it is not iPad Mail when I am on the road or on the sofa) here, as you can easily see if you check my User-Agent header. And I do not use the buttons, but am conditioned to Ctrl-R (reply). Yeah, I could also use Shift-Ctrl-L (reply to list), but the thing is, I am writing so many e-mails. Each time it would take an active decision like "now is this a mailing list and I need to press the other keys"? We are in 2012 and 99% of all mail clients would handle a Reply-To header correctly, i.e. reply to the list by default. Again, as I said in the other thread: I am a mailing list admin for Freetz myself, and first of all we think of our users (not of us as admins or geeks) to make it easier for 90% of them. You should not need to be a geek or expert user or be told by a smart guy "just change your mailer" just to be able to easily answer to mailing lists correctly. So ask yourself: Am I a user? Do you regard me to be your client? I would do so if you were a Freetz user. Also ask yourself: What the heck would you lose by reconfiguring your mailing list to set Reply-To?
