I agree that what you think would be reasonable and what people generally expect, but what RFC 5322 says is Note: Some mail applications have automatic reply commands that include the destination addresses of the original message in the destination addresses of the reply. How those reply commands behave is implementation dependent and is beyond the scope of this document. In particular, whether or not to include the original destination addresses when the original message had a "Reply-To:" field is not addressed here. Which basically says that whatever the specific MUA does with reply-all when there is a Reply-To: is not addressed by the standard and is up to the implementer, so while you and I may not like the behavior of outlook/hotmail in this case, we can't say it is non-compliant. As an aside, you don't want to convince me that this behavior is wrong, because you'd like me to do something in Mailman to make this reply-all behavior work as expected, but I'm not interested in kludging Mailman to accommodate broken MUAs. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
