I agree with your first statement. And, menu items are changable without too much grief, but not shortcuts. The ones I bother to learn, I want to stay the way they are! If I press CTRL-Whatever, and "something" happens, it'll throw off my entire thought process if that "something" doesn't happen. Now, I have no experience with munged lists, so I can't make any intelligent input about them. And, I guess the statement made that simply adding a Reply To List button on the tool bar should be a separate request is valid. BUT, If it were included with the proposal you're making, it would most likely get done a whole lot quicker. This thread seems to have the "movers and shakers" contributing so I think this is the best chance I have. I am, and have been for years, a member of non-computer related lists. The people on these lists are simply not interested enough to learn CTRL-Anything. Call them what you will, they are simply not interested in computers, only using them with the least possible mental effort that will get most of what they want done. They look at the buttons and press their best guess. Reply doesn't go to the list, but reply to all will. They consider it better that the recipient delete the extra message than them go through all the extra effort of changing the header info. A Reply to List button would put Evolution way ahead of most Windows solutions, make it much easier for this type of user, and much easier for members of lists such as these. Therefore, I vote for including this button, and do what you will with the key shortcuts. Like a Windows user, I'll use the button if/when it becomes available and won't have the shock of CTRL-L being changed.
