With mutt, at least, which it seems can generally be trusted to do the Right Thing, both reply-to headers are honoured, so hitting 'r' sends a reply both to the list and to the user's specified reply address. I think it is reasonably likely that this is what the user wants :-) (at least, nobody who sets reply-to themselves has complained at me yet!) If you change "debian-user" to "*" in the conditional, any messages with a reply-to already set will not be modified. This might be thought better. As I said, nits can be picked... -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
