Final issue, unrelated to POP3 or IMAP - this is something I've actually noticed for some time, but this mailing list seems to be the only one where I see this - Albrecht's previous response was TO: me, and CC: the list. When I hit "G" to reply to the group, the reply windows comes up, but no address in either To: or CC:. If I Reply All, it comes up To: Albrecht, and CC: the list, which is not wrong, but I have a personal preference to To: the list, and CC: the individual (which I often omit, especially if I know the person is subscribed to the list.).As I recall, a cursory glance at the code didn't show a quick fix for that, but it definitely needs a fix! I'll look again…
So, here's the problem: if you hit 'Reply to group', Balsa tries to follow RFC 2369[0], which describes how to handle 'mailing list command specification header fields', and, in particular, Balsa looks for a 'List-Post:' header. If the message you're replying to is the one from a conforming list, it finds that header and sets up the 'To:' field correctly. If you received a copy addressed to you directly, it doesn't have that header, and Balsa just gives up. A better reaction might be to pop up a dialog pointing out that the message doesn't appear to have been sent from a group, and suggesting 'Reply all' as an alternative. What do you think?
