Your replies are above what is quoted (the opposite arrangement to how English is read), the lines were not wrapped, and from what you keep saying the reply buttons don't work ideally. This email client, Claws, has reply, reply all and reply sender. On all mailing lists and to all people the 3 buttons work exactly as expected. I think Evolution needs to have an option changed to work OK with this list. dinkypumpkin uses Thunderbird, I guess that behaves? Maybe our clients are picking up on a mailing list specific header and being sensible, your email client is just ignoring that advice? You should go back to your vendor about the dodgy email program, but I should think if they do fix it it will be a case that the fix is in a future email program not available on your machine - ie new hardware will be needed for a software design flaw. Or can you not use another email program? If Thunderbird is available for Apple branded PCs then surely it is available for Apple branded ARM tablets? How about installing your own MTA (I like Postfix) and having it rewrite headers? Oh, is your computer not open enough for that kind of thing? :) Nick _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
