I don't think it should do this by default. You can always fill in the list as the reply-to by hand. I'm not convinced that adding this as an option is worthwhile. (mind you, I'm not actually an Evolution hacker, but I try to keep up with it pretty closely). > My annoyances, as is, are: > > - just hitting reply does not send to list as usually intended. Doing this means that you have to have some way of replying -other- than hitting the 'reply' button, in case you want to just send mail to the original sender. Furthermore, the existing code to make 'reply-to-list' work is horrible and hacky. I haven't found a 'good' solution for this yet (although it's been suggested that I look at the gnus code. I hope to get there soon). This is one of those problems that appears HARD to solve. > - reply to all means original poster gets two copies. Why? It doesn't. I think you're missing out on some common use-cases. There are many mailing lists out there which do not require you to be a member of the list before posting. That is to say, reply-to-all only results in the sender getting two copies of the mail if they're not on the list. Removing the sender on 'reply-to-all' is a BAD idea. > - evolution, unlike "primitive" MUAs like mutt and kmail does not bind > any key to the "reply to list" action, nor is there a toolbar button., > so to reply properly, you have to dig into the menus.
