Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.6-20040722+1
Severity: normal
I recently hit 'L'ist-reply on a message from a mailing list, saw in the
To field two forms of the list address. Investigating, I found that the
message I replied to had the following headers:
To: [email protected]
List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]>
My mutt configuration has
lists darcs-devel@
So 'L'ist-reply replied to both the To and List-Post addresses.
Many lists are aliased by multiple addresses, so I don't think this case
can be written off as a list misconfiguration. However, I don't know
how to resolve it. One idea would be to note that both addresses are
matched by the same lists entry, but I'm not sure that is reliable in
general.
Supporting the List-Post header sounds admirable, but the overlap with
the existing mailing list features is confusing. Moreover, it is less
powerful than the existing features, since it cannot help with a message
cross-posted to multiple lists (there will be only one List-Post
header). Maybe List-Post should only be used if no mailing lists are
found via the lists and subscribe features?

tag 263516 +unreproducible
fixed 263516 1.5.18-4
thanks
The bug is not seen on 1.5.18-4, anyway, as we said, it
should not be considered a bug because in that case the List-Post
header was misconfigured.
Answering the last question of this bug: with a send-hook you
should be able to override the header you don't like.
Cheers
Antonio
