This issue has been discussed before and it makes sense to me. I see to many people accidentally not keeping discussions on list and the button now does exactly what I would expect and want. Replying to list is not "reply to all" (which would include the sender personally and any cc'ed individuals). The List is one receiver. You already have "reply to sender" (actual caption may vary as I use a translated interface). -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- IMP mailing list Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: imp-unsubscr...@lists.horde.org
