What is this supposed to mean? Try mutt and its "L" command. The "L" command means "list-reply", aka only send a message to the list, not to all recepients. It also sets a header flag so that other well-behaved MUA's don't send you an extra copy of their replies since you will get it on the list anyway. "Reply-to" is meant to send a message back to the person who wrote the first one, not to someone they wrote the message to. What if I set my Reply-To header to be the address I was sending To? How would you reply to me? ;-) -D PS. this argument is pointless, just accept the Right Way to do things and use tools that aren't broken
