Hi all,

Many mailing lists (like this one) set the 'reply-to' header so that
messages go back to the list.  This is bad, see:
<http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html>

It can also lead to user errors, like accidently thinking you've replied
privately, yet replied publicly (yes, I just did this...).  It ruins the
consistance of the UI: reply should always do the same thing.  I'm sure
you all use Cmd-R, but look at PM's menu, it says "Reply to Sender", but
that's not what happens necessarily.

But nevermind all that!!

It gave me an idea for a new PM feature:

Many lists (Apple's for example) have a 'List-Post' header.  How about a
3rd Reply type "Reply to list", it could be Cmd-Option-R.

I think that would be great!
