So hit Reply to Mailing List instead of Reply to Author.  The list

refund and get one that has basic functionality like a proper
inline-reply and Reply to Mailing List.  Everybody else has had these
features for years.

Does anyone have a list of MUAs which have this functionality?

In my experience:

- Outlook/Express: NO

- Mozilla Thunderbird: NO, although "Reply to All" gets halfway.  You
 need to remove the original sender's address from "To" and change the
 "Cc" for debian-user to be "To".  Actually, re-reading that, that is
 probably too cumbersome and should count as a full "NO".

- Pegasus Mail: NO

- Mutt: YES (my client of choice)

Paul, you appear to be using KMail, which given your remarks I presume
you feel it merits a "YES"?

What about other clients?

I just clicked on the reply-to-list button to write this email.
I'm using IMP.

Cheers,
Mike
