Re: How to ignore Reply-To?

In such situations the list software usually adds automatic Reply-To: list. For me it's fine, and I don't want to set broken-reply-to because then I'd always need to use wide reply first and then remove all recipients except the mailing list address. It would be too much manual work in nearly always editing recipients. (Unless there's another reply command which replies to the list address only.) So, it seems that it's generally easier to not set broken-reply-to and just honor the Reply-To set by the mailing software. In those rare situations when I need to reply privately outside the list I can just copy and paste necessary addresses. Basically I'd like to have three different reply buttons: 1. Reply to author only (with confirmation whether or not to honor the possible Reply-To). 2. Reply to all people. The original author's address (or at user option, the Reply-To field) goes to To field and other recipients to Cc field. 3. Reply to mailing list address only (the MUA needs to know what the address is so it must be configured). It would be nice to have these three options always available. I used Mutt previously and found those options handy. This is old thread but I'll reply because I just found an answer. Even though this might be obvious to many of you I'll post my summary here in this same thread. So Gnus already has this functionality that I was asking for. :-) If a mailing list has Reply-To pointing to the list, configure group parameters like this: (broken-reply-to . t) (to-address . l...@address) Now in summary buffer command F will reply just to the mailing list (l...@address), R will reply to the original author only and S W will reply to all (To original author and Cc to list and possibly other people). It took a while to figure that out. :-) ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

That said, you could tinker with --8---cut here---start-8--- `broken-reply-to' Elements like `(broken-reply-to . t)' signals that `Reply-To' headers in this group are to be ignored, and for the header to be hidden if `reply-to' is part of `gnus-boring-article-headers'. This can be useful if you're reading a mailing list group where the listserv has inserted `Reply-To' headers that point back to the listserv itself. That is broken behavior. So there! --8---cut here---end---8--- in Group Parameters documentation in the manual. Since the modification you wanted is infrequent, it's best to simply edit the reply-to. sivaram -- ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Well, I guess this means that if I occasionally want to reply privately to somebody on a mailing list I need to copy and paste person's address to To field. All the reply options (normal, wide and very wide) just reply to the list address and nobody else. ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

When I use r/R on a message in the group gmane.comp.tex.german, where I have set (broken-reply-to . t) in `gnus-parameters', the article goes to the address in the To field and the list address (from Reply-To) is ignored.
