Could you point me to the RFC which does say so? As long as I worked on my own MUA until a few years ago, such Mail-Reply-To: header was AFAIK neither defined nor mentioned in any of the relevant RFCs. >From my point of view "As Thunderbird does" is as a weak argument as "As Outlook (Express) does" would be. The RFC standards should take precedence over the proprietary behaviour of which MUA ever. >> 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.

It's consistent that a) the Reply-To: header is completely ignored in all of these scenarios, b) that the recipient is sometimes taken from the To: header and sometimes from the X-Original-To: header (or a mix of them), and c) that the "Reply all" button does not reply to all? Hmmm... I'd rather call that confusing. ;-) At least it DID indeed confuse me. > http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html After a quick look it appears to me that this header is supposed to fix mailing list flaws/bugs. These should be fixed at the source (i.e. the mailing list), not by the MUA. Furthermore, the Reply-To: header in question DOES also contain the mailing list address, so what exactly needs to be fixed then?
