Dear users

In light of the recent thread about MLs and my constant encounter with the
following problem, I'd like to ask:

How do _you_ start a new thread to a mailing list?

My preferred method right now is to start a reply, but change the subject and
remove the Reference header. This is of course tedious and error-prone. But
it's also tedious to manage the list addresses in aliases and to enter/search
the relevant address each time.

I noticed that M is not bound by default. So what do you think about a new
function "New message to list", assigned to M. It's similar to "Reply to list",
bound to L, in that it takes the mailing list address from the currently
selected message, but it doesn't set the message up as a reply. That would be a
very quick and easy way to start a new thread.

Thanks for your consideration.
