I'm wary of joining in now that Godwin's law has been invoked <g>,
but there is another mailer that offers this: Pegasus Mail for
Windows, which in addition to the normal mode in which it presents a
choice of reply-to-all or reply-to-Reply-to (IYGWIM), also offers an
"advanced reply options" mode allowing you to choose betwen From:
To:, Cc:, Reply-To: and Sender: fields -- or "all recipients". It's
such a simple thing to implement that I'm amazed that more mailers
don't offer such a facility. This facility is one of the many neat
features of Pegasus which makes me stick with it rather than
switching to Linux.
As to the substance of the thread, all my lists have reply-to munged
to the list, and it works fine -- tho I can see that other lists
might be different. I just wish that we could avoid clogging up
list-managers with these religious arguments, and accept that it's
horses-for-courses.
Best wishes,
Claire
