I'm hijacking this thread, because it's gotten WAY off the original
topic.

Pine does fine with either pgp4pine or pgpenvelope, both of which give
PGP/GnuPG support to pine, often with a little help from procmail.
Mostly, other than roles support (which is painful to simulate in mutt),
pine lags behind mutt in a lot of regards--except for usability of the
interface, of course. :)

Then again, mutt's inline support is pretty broken, IMHO. Most Windows
users use inline PGP, and not PGP/MIME, so I think Pine's third-party
utilities come out ahead on that one.

Well, and sometimes *without* it, I've hit the wrong key and sent a
reply back to a specific individual instead of the list. I suppose the
question typically comes down to which is the lesser evil in any given
situation.

I find that, when dealing with newbies or non-technical folks, Reply-To
is important because otherwise they throw up their hands in clueless
frustration. But technical people should know better (and anyone using
Linux *ought* to be striving for more technical competence), and
*forcing* reply-to seems to go against the grain somehow.

That said, it makes no difference to me whether I hit reply, list-reply,
or group-reply, so long as I *know* which one I'm supposed to key in.
So, the better question is: "Should RLUG support a munged reply-to
header? What goal would it advance?"

Let the flame-fest and circular arguments begin! :)
