It already works grat with PMMail (it is also available for Windows).
The mailing list sets the Reply-To: address to the mailing list, the
From: field is preserved. When I hit the Reply buttin in PMMail (MUA),
he notices the difference between the "From:" and "Reply-To:" list,
pops up a quick dialog asking me to choose to whom to reply; to the
list
(Reply-To) or to the poster (From:). Voila.. problem solved.
Of course.. we could define.. if Reply-To is already set, maybe the
mailing list should preserve it (so the people not subscribed to the
mailing list could set the Reply-To to their private mailbox or
some place else).
