Interesting (and probably fairly straightforward) idea:

I tend to read Uncensored via IMAP, because I don't like the web client or the 
text client and it's convenient having Uncensored simply appear in my mailer. 
(KMail, for reference.) However, posting is inconvenient --- I have to 
compose my message, save it as a draft, and then move the message from Drafts 
to the target room. This means it's error prone and there are weird side 
issues; I discovered that doing this with Thunderbird causes HTML messages to 
always be generated even if you ask it not to, because it only strips out the 
HTML when it actually sends the message.

Since a Citadel room is basically a mailing list, why not have the system 
generate the standardised List-Id, List-Post, List-Archive etc mail headers?

That way I could just select a message, press the Reply To Mailing List 
button, type my message, press Send, and it would automagically wend its way 
into the correct room via authenticated SMTP.

Does this sound useful?
