No, I need to reply all for normal messages - life isn't just about lists :-) Also I need a reply all for list messages when I get a CC: copy without the list headers in the message. > And you really can't use > the menu or the keyboard for that rare occasion? I could just continue with the current situation where I press ctrl-l for list messages - that for me is the minority case, probably about 5% of the email I answer is to a mailing list. > > I agree that 'Reply in Public' isn't a brilliant name for a button which > tries to reply to the list, and falls back to replying to all.

One issue is that *I* don't have Evo 2.30 because I haven't had time to upgrade to F13, so I didn't know about the drop down toolbar buttons. I would be against overloading a single button with multiple meanings. I don't have a particular objection to "Group Reply" - although within the context of a "Groupware" solution, the term "Group" may have a specific meaning and may cause confusion. Part of the problem is that I have feeling you see Reply-all and Reply-list to be quite similar, whereas I see them as conceptually separate operations - consequently I have problems thinking of a term that satisfactorily covers both. This is probably also why I see there to be a need for both buttons, and you don't. Anyway, perhaps I need to install F13 before I take anymore part in this conversation...
