I noticed I have to keep editing the To field every time I reply.
Why doesn't the list insert a Reply-to directing replies to the list?
We do not need it since recent/modern MUAs support <Reply-To-List>.
It does have a Mail-Followup-To field, a proposal from 1997 that was not
included in RFC 2822 in 2001, so not surprisingly clients don't know
they should use it. If it was "standardized" in the last couple of
years I expect someone here to educate me :-)
Sorry, but nearly all recent MUA support MTF.
Maybe you should upbrade yours?
hmm. Didn't notice "upbrade" rather than "upgrade" until I was actually
replying. ;-)
Anyway, so Thunderbird doesn't qualify on that count.
Nor does Apple's Mail app.
And Eudora is essentially gone now.
So, I'm not sure what you mean by "nearly all recent MUA".
I found an "experimental" add-on (a version 0.3.1) for Thunderbird that
will do it, but unless it's in the MUA as a standard feature, you can't
count on it as a standard behavior. I'll try the add-on, because it may
be easier if it works, but I always do a reply-all and then remove
everything but the list. I think that is what most people who actually
think about it do. But, I get plenty of duplicates from lists that I
participate in, because plenty of people don't think about it.
