Hi, The UI option "Edit As New Message" includes some headers from the original message (e.g. References: ) that it shouldn't, and does so in a way that is invisible to the user. For example: I posted to debian-private today as part of a thread, so my email had a References: header in. A couple of people asked me to re-post on a public list, so I sent to my Sent folder, selected "Edit As New Message", edited the text a bit so it would make sense as a stand-along post, and emailed it to debian-project. You can see the result here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2018/12/msg00066.html Note the References: header, which refers to posts in the debian-private thread my previous email had been in reply to. IMO, this violates the principle of least surprise - a "New Message" in most senses would not contain such things; further it caused some consternation among readers (who now find the -project and -private threads get intermingled by their MUAs).
