Why? Nobody is talking about taking away anybody's Reply-To-Author function, and nobody says you personally have to bind "smart reply" to anything in your MUA. > Side question: when you have a message addressed to multiple > mailing lists, what does "reply to list" even mean? Long answer: click here -> https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2369 Short answer: List-Post may occur at most once. It goes there. > Note also that the MailMan UI says "Where are replies to list messages > directed? Poster is /strongly /recommended for most mailing lists." so > it's not just me. Opposing "Reply-To munging" is nowhere near advocating restricting reply UI to "Reply-to-Author" and "Reply-to-All", no more, no less. In fact, my opposition to Reply-To munging is a good part of *why* I think "smart reply" would be a useful addition to AOL's MUA, inter alia. > (I'm not sure whether T-bird can save me from a DMARC-munged list that > uses "Reply-To: <list>". That combination just makes my head hurt.) It made Mark's head hurt, too. I think he did a good job of mitigating a fundamentally broken part of the Internet, but it's suboptimal that anybody uses p=reject on non-transactional mail flows.
