You shouldn't make statements about all MUAs until you have tried all MUAs. In Sylpheed-claws I can send you a mail directly by selecting Reply to sender from the menu. I can also set up a default reply address for a mailing lists folder, so my replies default to the list regardless of the list settings. Using Reply to all is horrible. Not only does it mean you send two copies to this list, it also means the person you are replying to gets an extra copy in his/her personal mailbox. direct replies make sense on certain types of list, but not discussion lists like this. that's why all these arguments about which setup is intrinsically wrong are a waste of time. It all depends on the [purpose of the list, and this one is a help and discussion forums, where the interests of the majority are usually best served by the replies going to the list. -- Neil Bothwick To most people solutions mean finding the answers.
