"Reply to list" feature

"Reply to list" feature

Hi,

I'm forwarding here a patch that adds "Reply to list" feature that is
found from many other mail clients such as Thunderbird. Naturally one
can configure Gnus in such way that it knows per group what to do, but I
think that separate "Reply to list" benefits some group of users.

The patch is written by Timo Lindfors, and with longer explanation, it
was submitted first to Debian's bug tracker at
http://bugs.debian.org/627516

This is similar to "Reply to list" in mutt and evolution.
