The Reply, Reply All both go to the list, empty CC. The Reply List function does the same thing.

I'd expect the same behavior from anything else. Mutt, Pine, Elm, T-Bird, Squirrelmail, MS Outlook 2010, what have you.

What crap. If all of these buttons 'should do the same thing', what
pray tell is the point of having them?

'Reply' should honor the message's 'Reply-To' setting.

'Reply-All' should do just that - reply to ALL recipients.

The RCU list is the only recipient, though. That's how "this kind of list" works.

There indeed is something broken about the roundcube list, but it is not just because of Reply-To munging.

Example... the dovecot email list also does Reply-To munging (if you just click 'Reply', the reply goes to the list) - BUT - if you click 'Reply-All', the reply goes to both the list AND the original sender.

So, the roundcube list is doing something WRONG/different that breaks 'Reply-All' functionality.

Reply All should also honor Reply-To: IMHO.

Honoring the 'Reply-To' in your example would mean that the Reply woud ONLY go to Bob.

But I do get your meaning, and I agree that 'Reply-All' should honor the 'Reply-To' as far as the original sender goes.

'Reply-To-List' should only reply to the list, and only when the
proper list header(s) is(are) there. If there are no list headers,
'Reply-To-List' should do nothing.

It could figure out the mailing list identity by scanning the headers of the thread. The message in question might not have list headers, but it could be a followup to something (directly or via a chain of of multiple ancestors) which does have list headers.

Then the list address from that ancestor's headers could be searched for in the current message's list of recipients. If that address is there, then the message can be deemed to be a discussion item for that list, and "Reply To List" can apply.

If the message came through the list, the list headers will be there.

The only time you would get a message that did NOT have the list headers (assuming the list in question adds the headers), is if someone clicked 'Reply-All' and sent you a direct reply, and the list was configured to NOT deliver the message to you if you were also directly addressed.
