Manually changing the To: field is admittedly booring. Any > volunteer who is also bored by doing so to approach listmaster about > this? This is a very old debate :-). Before changing the Reply-to header, it may be worth to read "The great reply-to debate" in Karl Fogel's book "Producing open source software": http://producingoss.com/en/message-forums.html#reply-to which describes the pros and cons and gives a recommendation (spoiler: he has a preference for not changing the Reply-to header). It also links to two canonical documents in this debate for those who are interested. Finally, he writes about the Reply-to-list feature of Mutt Andreas mentions (and which by now also exists in Thunderbird). > >> Now that we're at it :) >> Would it also be possible to use a tag that identifies the list in the >> subject line of messages like e.g. >> >> Subject: [DebianMed] ... >> >> Most mailing lists do this.

For visual sorting, as mentioned by Roland. However, I currently sort DebianMed mail based on the From: header and that works fine as well.
