(btw, I'm not very familiar with the details of newsgroup operation and haven't read any newsgroup-specific RFCs) *My* view is that Reply-To: is a personal header indicating where one would want personal replies, if different from From:. IMO you setting that doesn't override my wish to reply on-list to a list discussion. If sylpheed users don't like the way sylpheed currently behaves, then they ought to file a bug report. Either way it's not really something I should get into because I am not involved with sylpheed at all. -D --
