This isn't an issue with TBird, or any MUA. The clients simply obey/honor the list headers. For example: X-Mailing-List: <[email protected]> archive/latest/657649 List-Id: <debian-user.lists.debian.org> List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]> Precedence: list The "List-Post:" header contains the list posting address. When you hit "reply-to-list" in TBird this is the address it selects for populating the To: field in the reply. If you reply to a message sent from a listserver that does not provide a "List-Post:" header, then the address in the "Reply-To:" header is inserted into the To: field of the reply. Ergo, "reply-to-list" only works if a "List-Post" header is present. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
