The message quoted below has the following headers:

--------------------------------------------------------------
> X-Original-To: [email protected]
> To: RoundCube Mailingliste <[email protected]>
> From: Ulli Heist <[email protected]>
> Mail-Reply-To: <[email protected]>
> Reply-To: [email protected],
>     Roundcube Users mailing list <[email protected]>
--------------------------------------------------------------

According to the Reply-To: header, the user apparently wants to receive a
reply not only to the list, but also the his personal mail address.

The following happens when I use the several reply options/buttons:

1) Click on "Reply to sender": The reply goes to "[email protected]"
only (as there is no real name given, this address is obviously taken from
the Reply-To: or Mail-Reply-To: header), but not to the list. This behaviour
is wrong, IMHO.

2) Click on "Reply to list or to sender and all recipients": The reply goes
to "[email protected]" only (as there is no real name given, this
address might probably be taken from the X-Original-To: header), but not to
the sender. This behaviour is wrong again, IMHO.

3) Select "Reply all" from the options of the "Reply to list or to sender
and all recipients" button: The reply goes to "[email protected]"
(obviously taken from the Reply-To: or Mail-Reply-To: header) and in Cc: to
"RoundCube Mailingliste <[email protected]>" (definitely taken from
the To: header). This behaviour is more confusing than wrong, anyway it does
still not reflect the content of the Reply-To: header and the addresses are
taken from different headers.

4) Select "Reply list" from the options of the "Reply to list or to sender
and all recipients" button: The reply goes to "[email protected]"
only (as there is no real name given, this address might probably be taken
from the X-Original-To: header), but not to the sender. This behaviour may
be considered as correct, although even this could still be arguable as
well. And I'm wondering why the recipient is taken from the X-Original-To:
header (rather than from the To: header).

I believe it should be reconsidered which headers should be respected and
take precedence in which scenario. At least in scenarios 1) to 3) above the
content of the Reply-To: header should be respected, IMHO.

Furthermore I'm wondering what the purpose of the Mail-Reply-To: header is
and why it is created at all. Generally spoken, from my point of view
standard RFC headers (To:, Cc:, Reply-To:, probably Sender:) should take
precedence over non-standard headers such as Mail-Reply-To: or
X-Original-To:.
