Please Fix List's Reply-To: Header

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Yes, I used the L key but the frustration for me was that 99.98% of my lists responded to clicking on the reply button and filled out the reply to correctly.  Not two of them - they used the lame excuse (maybe one day I'll really express my feelings on this subject <G>) of mailboxes filling up and bouncing back so we'll mess up the reply to headers!  And I was running Kmail under KDE 2.2.1 and it did not have the button for reply to list in the choices - that was suggested and I checked.  I never bothered to go to KDE 3.x - instead I installed a new distro on a new box and went with xfce.

In addtion the reply to doesn't help when you have to use brain dead webmail. I don't like webmail but sometimes it's all I got and I have to cut and paste or remember the list addresses.  But it makes the admin's life easier - so what about the users <G>.
