Re: Stupid reply tricks
Hi John, * John Long codeb...@inbox.lv, 2012-08-12 14:01:37 Sun: [...] I don't understand why I get a prompt when replying to messages with set fast_reply=yes [...] I get a message Reply to so-and-so? It looks like you want the `reply_to' quadoption set to `yes' or `no' rather than the default `ask-yes': If set, Mutt will ask you if you want to use the address listed in the Reply-To: header field when replying to a message. If you answer no, it will use the address in the From: header field instead. This option is useful for reading a mailing list that sets the Reply-To: header field to the list address and you want to send a private message to the author of a message. Personally, I like to be asked about funky Reply-To headers, but the setting exists so that you can tune Mutt to your own idea of what's best :o). -- David Haguenauer pgpV1U1M4FmTp.pgp Description: Digital signature

It looks like you want the `reply_to' quadoption set to `yes' or `no' rather than the default `ask-yes': I will try that but I can't figure out why fast_reply seems to work sometimes and not others. For example with your post I was able to reply or list reply and I got the editor instantly with no prompting from Mutt. This email list is in my subscribe command in my muttrc. On other emails it prompts me to reply or not and I have no idea why yet. Personally, I like to be asked about funky Reply-To headers, but the setting exists so that you can tune Mutt to your own idea of what's best?:o). I have edit headers set and if I make a mistake I find it quicker to edit the headers or just cancel out of edit. I really hate responding to prompts that get in the way 99% of the time to save me a little work 1% of the time. So far Mutt seems to do a pretty good job guessing the right address(es) to respond to but I don't understand why it's prompting me sometimes and not others.

I think that's it, but I haven't figured out why it is in certain cases and not othersIOW what is the common denominator. Thanks guys.

Well, in my experience, people and lists rarely set Reply-To: that could explain why you do not get the prompt very often. I sent an e-mail your way, with Reply-To set, so you can try out the different values of reply_to. -- David Haguenauer pgpyGJwLlktoI.pgp Description: Digital signature
