In Kmail "Reply" goes to the list, "Reply to all" goes to list and sender, "reply to authir" goes to the sender, and "reply to mailing list" goes to the list. In K9 "reply" goes to the sender and "reply to all" goes to the list as well. It seems to work in a reasonable way.
well, then, it's a good thing that absolutely everybody in the world uses either Kmail or K9. And no-one ever needs to specify their own preferred (or only viable/working) address in the Reply-To: header. Reply-To munging is broken, it destroys the sender's intent (and makes it *impossible* to contact them) when you override their Reply-To with yours. Mailman already uses the correct header Mail-Followup-To: (and Sender: for more primitive MUAs). Munging the From: header is similarly broken.
That is not the problem we are trying to solve. The issue is that more of the big sending domains are using DMARC entries (yahoo is one) and more of the big receiving domains are rejecting mail based on them (gmail is one).
there has to be another solution because the one you have chosen is broken. craig ps: surrendering to the arbitrary decrees and whims of giant corporations seems like a bad idea to me. -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
