Re: Mail-{Followup,Reply}-To

[prj@po.cwru.edu (Paul Jarc)]

A news followup to a message without a Followup-To goes to the same
newsgroups as the previous message.  This is usually what the poster
wants, so Followup-To is usually not set.  But for mail, without MFT,
a followup goes to the poster as well.  This is usually not what the
poster wants, so MFT will be set more often than FT.  So I think
obedience of these fields should be controlled by separate variables.
(I made MFT obedience depend on message-use-followup-to.)  To be sort
of parallel with that variable, I'm thinking something like:
message-use-mail-followup-to
  nil  always ignore MFT
  use  always use MFT
  ask  always ask
  t    use MFT if it matches To+Cc (not To+Cc+From), otherwise ask
Sound good?  I think the default should be t.
