[somehow i missed the intermediate message from Nerijus]
here's something i've done in most any GUI oriented mail client i've ever
used without any real problems (until the mahogany 0.65).
i need to send email to someone. i'll search back, find something that they
sent to a mailing list, and reply to it. i'll edit out the irrelevant To:
and CC: lines, and change the subject. all traces of the mailing list
origin are gone, right?
in 0.65, wrong.
the reply tos are being left to their mailing list settings. the person i'm
sending to gets a personal reply, and then their copy of outlook uses the
reply-tos for the original mailing list message. my private email stays
private, but their reply goes to a (possibly irrelevant) lists.
it's happened to me once or twice. i don't use it that way any more, but it
is definitely a trap for the unwary.
