Subject: Feature Requested: "List reply"

Hi, Pine developers/users!

I have mostly to deal with mailing lists; 90% of all replies in lists are
directed to list (with possible copies to author).

Here the problem: in case of reply I have to select between simple reply
(to the author i.e. From/Reply-To) or to the author and all recipients
(i.e. mailing list in this case). Thus if I want to reply to list (as
mentioned, 90% of all replies), I have to make "Reply to all recps". Here
the problem lies:

1. normally it is not necessary to make copy of reply to list until
excplicitly requested (at least, it seems to the right thing; correct me
if I am wrong). But I get the author inserted as primary recipient anyway.

2. the author is made the *first* recipient and thus Fcc is computed from
*his* address and not from *list* address. But it is natural to keep all
replies to list in the same folder as list itself.

In both cases it is possible to edit corresponding fields; but if yur are
forced to do it almost for *every* mail ...

So the feature: add something like "list reply"; that is reply not to
*author* but to the *recipient* of message. Of course, it should be
possible to include any additional recipients/author in reply in this
case.

really hope to see it in 3.95 ;-)

thanks in advance

This sounds to me like a misconfiguration of the listserver
header rewriting strategy.

Normally the address of the originator of the message should
be found in the From: header line and the address of the list
in the Replay-to: line.

This way, the selection of a private response versus a list
response is made at the From/Reply-To question asked by pine
when you reply a message with different From: and Replay-to:
fields (if you enable it from config).

Just an opinion.
