That seems like a UI bug to me -- I'd have thought that there should be
a "No" button so that you can stop it repeatedly asking (presumably by
automatically doing the same as the above manual procedure).

Would anyone happen to know where that should be reported?

I have a feeling that I'd want to default that to answering "No", and
never see the prompt.

The number of people I'm willing to declare ultimate trust in is quite
limited, and even for those, I'm not going to do it via some unfamiliar
bit of UI that springs up unexpectedly.  This strikes me as mildly
deranged, and appears to be trying to train users to do the wrong thing.

Cheers, Phil.

[PATCH] Restore original keybinding ('r' = reply-to-all)

I find the change to the new (only reply to sender) behaviour serously
irritating, because it seems I cannot train myself to hit R all the time
(which is pretty much what I always want).

On the other hand, I'm perfectly capable of customising this, but have
something of a fetish for at least trying to live with defaults for a
period, so it's my own fault for putting up with it.

So, even if I don't personally like it this way round, it is at least
fail-safe (well except for the fact that I keep failing to group-reply
and then wonder why nobody talks to me any more ;-)

Of course, if it turns out that the vast majority of actual users are
like me and would prefer to do r and then edit the To/Cc if it's
supposed to be private, then reverting the change would make sense.

Cheers, Phil.

P.S.  Oh ARSE! -- of course I just failed to hit R again! and so had to
do some more sodding about to actually get the list included in the To:

Actually, instead of either of these options, how about some way of
letting r do the single reply, and then once inside the reply, having
some key binding to add the rest of the recipients in the group, or flip
between the two options so one can change one's mind after typing up the
reply?

Since the wiki is ikiwiki, it might be worth using the bug tracking
available in ikiwiki:

  http://ikiwiki.info/tips/integrated_issue_tracking_with_ikiwiki/

or just create a dedicated instance of ikiwiki just for tracking bugs
(possibly as part of the source repository, so that bugs get carried
around with the source in git, and can be closed with the commit that
fixes them, etc.)

Cheers, Phil

[GNU EMACS] smtpmail package and queue

masqmail has this functionality built in, and can be configured to
notice the internet connection going up and down, and kick the queue as
you go online (although for some reason I cannot persuade it that my
OpenVPN is online, even when it is, so have kludged it with cron kicking
the queue regularly)

Cheers, Phil.
