Yes, I understand that - that's why your messages that come directly to me via the CC: are so frustrating - they aren't list messages and are treated differently both by my MTA and MUA. > > > 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.

The concept is that when I'm dealing with mailing lists, I think, fundamentally, that all messages should go to the list since that is where the discussion is happening. The reply-to-list does just that, without introducing extraneous messages to different addresses. > > My understanding *was* that those people who wanted reply-to-list would > want to use it for *all* lists.

If the message doesn't have list headers then Ctrl-L doesn't do anything, the menu item is greyed out and any button I add is also greyed out. For instance, reply-to-list does not work on the messages that I get from you because they are CC:'d and don't come via the list. > > 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. > Well one of the situations I described are those that don't involve mailing lists at all - i.e. normal personal messages. The other is where I get a message from a mailing list discussion, but not via the list (which I, as you probably gather, think is broken behaviour). The bottom line is that all I would like to see is the action of "Reply-to-List" being given a much more prominent position in the UI - a position alongside "Reply-to-All".
