To clarify (if you disagree, please say so): It's meant to be used when the user chooses to reply to the list. That is not necessarily the function of the "Reply" button. In mutt, and IIRC in Thunderbird as well, "reply" is intended to mean "reply to author", and there is a separate "reply to list" function which works on gentoo-core and gentoo-dev just the same. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
