Hi there On 2014-10-13, Derek Martin wrote: I think your question is a little vague to get good answers snip/ Yes, this is it. So let me precise it. I don't talk about mailing lists but messages that come from one person to many. Suppose I've got the following simplified header where 'ME' is my address: header From: A To: B, ME /header Now I'd like to reply to A and B and I want those addresses to be both in the To: field. The new header would look something like this: header From: ME To: A, B /header At the moment when I press 'g' to group-reply, the header looks like: header From: ME To: A Cc: B /header I hope this helps clarify my problem. -- Greetings Elias

The new header would look something like this: header From: ME To: A, B /header Oddly enough, I just did a little testing, and sometimes I get the behavior you want, but sometimes I get the other behavior. I suspect this may have something to do with handling alternates, but I would really need to trace through the code to see what's going on here. That said, I believe the intended behavior is to put only the To addresses in the To: field, and everything else in the Cc: field. The difference between To: and Cc: is basically that if the author puts you in the To: field, the author expects that you have some action to take (including replying), whereas Cc: is for keeping people in the loop who are not intended to take any action. http://lifehacker.com/5990422/know-the-difference-between-to-and-cc-in-an-email I believe Mutt tries to preserve the sense of this conveyed in the original e-mail you are replying to.

This makes sense. Nevertheless I often want the behaviour I described because all recipients ``have to take action''. I believe Mutt tries to preserve the sense of this conveyed in the original e-mail you are replying to. And therefore, if you want to change it, you are going to have to make a conscious decision to do so; usually you're going to have to do that manually. So I will write a macro that does this.

Group replying: set To: instead of Cc:
Hi all I often group reply to messages. I'd like to set the To: field with the reply addresses instead of the Cc: field. Is this possible? I didn't find anything on the list archive. -- Greetings Elias

Greetings! *** Elias Diem li...@webconect.ch [2014-10-13 21:24]: I often group reply to messages. I'd like to set the To: field with the reply addresses instead of the Cc: field. Is this possible? I didn't find anything on the list archive. I think that article is good for explaining of preferred behaviour To/Cc/Reply-To headers for maillists: http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html Also this article is important and related too: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html -- Happy hacking, Sergey Matveev. ..:

I didn't find anything on the list archive. I think your question is a little vague to get good answers (though Sergey's response is a good start). You could get different answers, based on: - reply to mailing list vs. group of individuals - whether or not reply-to is set on the original - How the recipient headers were originally set - Possibly other things in the headers To me it sounds like you are talking about replying to a mailing list, but in any case Mutt has a bunch of settings that control the behavior you're looking for. They (may) include: - reply_to - ignore_list_reply_to - metoo - alternates - ask_cc - ask_bcc - edit_headers There may be others too. -- Derek D.
