First: Apologies, Pete, I accidentally replied off-list. Honestly, I didn't mean to. I just clicked the wrong reply button (the one I used the most).

Those are two interesting statements to make right after each others. First a complaint that one poster only wants to implement the solution he thinks is right, and then an ultimatum about what should be implemented. I think Nick's suggestion was to make "The Right Thing" configurable, whereas you _demand_ that one behavior should be impossible in Evolution. I'm still hoping this will evolve into something where I can have _one_ reply button do what I want, but I'm more or less giving up hope on that. It seems that suggestion is simply ignored without discussion, as everyone keeps talking about the different ways to reply to mailing lists, munged or not. Are there any usability experts in the Gnome community we could pull in? It seems to me we are discussing Evolution usability from the point of view of a few expert users, rather than trying to figure out what behavior would be best for the majority of users of Evolution.
