Correct me if I am wrong. If an email is sent to a list (such as the PDML),
& you use "Reply List" or "Reply All", then you reply goes individually to
all members of the list as well as the list mailbox. If you use "Reply",
then your reply goes only to the list mailbox.
That's not my understanding.
If you "Reply List", the message goes to the list email address.
You can't send a message to all the list members individually, because
you don't have their email addresses - there is no "Reply All" ability.
If you just "Reply", the mailer program is supposed to use the reply
address specified in the "Reply-To" header. (Which, for most email
lists, is set to the list email address).
The problem people are complaining about is that Thunderbird has, as
of the latest release, chosen to ignore the requirements of the email
protocols, and when the user hits Reply is sending the reply to the
original poster (using the address supplied in a different header),
and only to that person - the message never gets sent to the list.
