I don't understand why they do it this way. If I were writing an MUA, I'd make each addressee a button which replies to them only.[1] For the explicit reply button, I'd automatically put the list-post and author in To:, provide an obvious delete button on each (as Gmail does), and provide an "add other addressees" button in Cc:. As it happens, on XEmacs lists about half the people who are most likely to end up in "reply-all" cc lists *want* to be cc'd because their filters put general list traffic in a folder they read much less frequently, but replies to their own posts they want to read immediately, so I've never coded it. It's a very difficult UI/UX problem, I think. Footnotes: [1] The alternative use for active regions over an addressee would be to provide contact list information, but I would do that in a tooltip. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
