I'd like to understand a little bit more about the problem.
Using Netscape Navigator 3.04 as my mail client -- if I hit "Re:Mail" my
reply is addressed to cooker, if I hit "Re: All" it is still addressed
to cooker. On the expert mail list, if I hit "Re:Mail", my reply goes
to the originator of the email, if I hit "Re:All" it goes to the
originator, the list, and apparently to all the ccs.
(Aside: I've also been a bystander (innocent, I hope ;-) in flamewars
over the proper behavior -- whether the reply should by default be to
the individual or the list -- a big concern being that someone might
reply with something intended for a particular person (only) and be
embarrassed when it appears on the list. (I believe the default should
be to the list, unless you're running a spy ring.))
Apparently not all mail clients behave the same way. I'd like to have a
mail client with three or four "programmable" reply buttons, so that I
could name them and get the behavior I want regardless of whether or how
the "Reply to" header is set.
I can imagine:
Reply to author (originator)
Reply to list
Reply to author and list
Reply to ccs
And I guess I could add all the other combinations -- too many buttons.
Ok, maybe five buttons instead, something like:
Reply quoted (with no addressees)
Reply unquoted (with no addressees)
Add originator to reply
Add (mail)list to reply
Add ccs to reply
Anybody familiar with a mail client with feature sets like either of
these?
Thanks,
Randy Kramer
