I write this message using Gmail. It provided two linked text options for reply. They were Reply and Reply to all.
On my desktop for IMAP I normally use Thunderbird. It also supplies buttons for Reply and Reply All. I checked Outlook 2010 and it also supplies Reply and Reply to All options. The argument about dynamically figuring out how to reply from one button doesn't add up to me. If I click on Reply in dimp to a message from a Mailman mailing list, it set up a reply to the sender and cc's the mailing list. That is Reply to All in any other mailer. Furthermore, if I click on the red X to "reply to the original sender instead", nothing changes - it is still cc'ing the mailing list. I have to manually delete the mailing list from cc:. Just give us two buttons like every other email client (like IMP, and like tiny the drop down option). It will avoid costly/hurtful mistakes. That is reason enough to make replies with a safety where the user actively chooses and not the software. If you have never seen a Reply to All that was done in error and caused difficulties or embarrassment, you are either young, have limited experience with email in the typical work world, or have lived a special life. -- IMP mailing list Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: imp-unsubscr...@lists.horde.org
