I quite like this idea (especially the munging override), except that I'd make Ctrl+L fall back to Shift+Ctrl+R when no List-Post header is present. Note: The munging override can't undo all possible munging, e.g. if the munged Reply-To is different from the List-Post address, or if the sender had his own Reply-To which is now lost. With those caveats, I think it's a win. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
