according to my understanding of RFC-822 (which is probably long

See:
RFC-2369
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2369.txt
[The Use of URLs as Meta-Syntax for Core Mail List Commands
and their Transport through Message Header Fields]
Thunderbird resolved this in:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715
["Reply to List" [button/(context) menu item] but it took quite some
time to do. Related SM bug is:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654009
[Reply to list: automatically determine From: address [SeaMonkey Part]]
Interesting, but I am less than clear as to what happens when the
requirements of RFC-822 and this more recent RFC come into conflict.
In the case under discussion, I believe that Seamonkey 2.2 e-mail
client is behaving correctly in sending REPLYies to the mailbox
specified in the "From: " field and REPLYies/ALL to the same, CC-ing
the mailbox specified in the "To: " field at the same time. If
Seamonkey were to be modified to follow the Thunderbird paradigm,
then would I be right in thinking that REPLY would continue to
honour RFC-822 whilst REPLY/LIST would implement RFC-2369 ?
If that is the case, then rather than my eye/brain/finger system
having to decide on a case-by-base basis whether REPLY or REPLY/LIST
were the preferred option, it would be better if there were a user-
configurable option to auto-detect messages containing RFC-2369-style
metadata and adjust the behaviour of "REPLY" accordingly.
