'r' should always address mail to the author of the post, not to a mailing list.

If you set the 'to-address' parameter to the mailing list's address, 'f' or 'F' will address your followup to the list only, and not to the author unless you add it explicitly or with 'C-c C-t'. > I have set the 'broken reply-to both ways with no change in behavior > after a restart. I think that you expect 'broken-reply-to' to behave in the opposite manner that it does. Or at least a very different way than it does. Some mailing lists are set up so that all mail sent through them ends up with a Reply-To header pointing to the list. This is broken behavior. Setting 'broken-reply-to' will instruct Gnus to ignore the Reply-To header so that replies go to the author of the message instead of the list. > Going back to 5.6.2 shows the same behavior, checking further here I see > this is true in all my mail groups. Yes. There is no reason why this behavior would be changed in the manner that you seem to expect. The commands run when you press the 'r' and 'R' keys should always send mail to only the author of the message. Similarly, the 'f' and 'F' keys should send a message to all of the people that received the original to which you are replying. This is how is has always been. > I don't believe this was always the way it worked so either I have > mucked up something recently or have been sending alot of wide replies > unknowingly.
