That sounds like a 'no'. A single button which does "reply to list if it's a list message, else reply to all" would handle both of those situations. > Also I need a reply all for list messages when I get a CC: copy without > the list headers in the message. When you get a Cc copy without the list headers in the message, that *isn't* a list message in any meaningful sense of the term -- it's a direct message. > 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.

This is probably also why I see there > to be a need for both buttons, and you don't. I do see them a bit like that, yes. But mostly I don't see the need for reply-to-list at all -- as discussed elsewhere I think it's a fundamentally broken thing to do. So I'm trying to understand the point of view of those that *do* want it. My understanding *was* that those people who wanted reply-to-list would want to use it for *all* lists. Remember, the existing reply-to-list operation *already* falls back to replying to all if it can't find a List-Post: header. You described above a couple of cases where you'd not want to reply to the List-Post: addresss... but both of those were cases that wouldn't have a List-Post: header in the first place, so if you'd set the option for 'Group Reply button does reply-to-list' then you'd have been fine. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
