Sorry Margarita, but now I am around 7 years on Debian lists (First
with Eudora 3 under WfW 3.11 and then Debian with mutt) and except
Copy-and-Past I miss nothing with mutt.

I have troied to use Mozilla-Mail as well as Thunderbird, but those
are crap, specialy if I try to read Mails offline and get HTML-Mails
which try to download tonns of pics...

I am developper and normal-user.  Encourage developers of MUA's to
code List-Reply stuff...

...where some Developpers of MUA's thinking, they must make the
Linuxpedants compatibel with BS ware from a proprietary OS.

Right and never I have ask for Cc: because I am on 68 Debian Lists.

I get per day arround 20-40 Cc's which make my live hard to reply.
Specialy if $STUPIDUSER set me into Bcc: where I can not determiner
whether it is a Cc: or not.  Peoples sending unwanted Cc: to me
bother me and they can not expect an answer from me.
